A new ruthenium complex with an electron-donating aminoindenyl ligand induces a fast living radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) in the presence of a chloride initiator to give polymers with controlled and variable molecular weights (Mn = 103-105) and very narrow molecular weight distributions (Mw/Mn < 1.1). The structure and high activity of the catalyst were analyzed by X-ray crystallography and cyclic voltammetry in comparison to those of a similar complex with an indenyl ligand.
