Cyanines comprising a barbiturate group facilitate controlled radical polymerization with Fe(III)Br3 as the catalyst by exposure at two wavelengths in the Near‐Infrared region. Proceeding at either 790 or 870 nm, it moves such systems towards a greener approach since these systems work with environmentally friendly light sources such as NIR‐LEDs. The oxygen tolerance opens new features of synthesizing tailor‐made polymers following a protocol based on controlled radical polymerization. Veronika Strehmel and colleagues discuss this more in their article on page 2023. (DOI: 10.1002/pol.20210273 )
