An efficient and simple method for the synthesis of symmetric macromolecules by photoinduced switching from radical polymerization to a radical coupling reaction is reported. Structurally well-defined telechelic polyisoprenes and ABA-triblock copolymers were prepared by successive organotellurium-mediated living radical polymerization (TERP) under thermal conditions, followed by a polymer-end radical coupling reaction under photoirradiation.
