The attempts to mediate iterative RAFT polymerization of ionic monomers through visible light irradiation in water at 20 °C is reported, in which complete conversions are attained in several tens of minutes and the propagation suspends/restarts immediately for multiple times on cycling irradiation. This technique suits the one‐pot synthesis of NH 2 /imidazole‐based polymers with tuned structures from homo to random, block, random‐block, and block‐random‐block, thus is robust and promising to control the sequence of the ionized water‐soluble reactive copolymers.
