Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A novel hydrophilic phosphine ligand for a ruthenium catalyst was synthesized towards useful living radical polymerization in water. Triethylene glycol (TEG) was introduced at the para position of triphenylphosphine and the resultant TEG-decorated ligand was combined with a Cp∗-based ruthenium precursor ([Cp∗Ru(μ-Cl)]) to prepare a hydrophilic ruthenium complex. The obtained ruthenium complex induced homogeneous controlled polymerization of poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (PEGMA) in water: the monomer conversion reached over 90% in 20 min, and the obtained polymers showed narrow MWD (M/M < 1.16). The ruthenium catalyst was active enough to allow a decrease in catalyst amount ([Ru]/[initiator] = 1/100) or polymerization at low temperature, 0 °C [for 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA)]. The catalyst also induced aqueous block copolymerization for the combination of water-soluble monomers: PEGMA/HEMA and PEGMA/2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (MeDMA).
