Polymerizable compositions comprising a radically polymerizable resin can be polymerized in the absence of a peroxide initiator and other undesirable components. The polymerizable compositions and methods employ a manganese- or iron-containing salt or organic complex and a 1,3-dioxo compound with one or more other components. The polymerizable compositions have better storage stability and reduced gel time-drift.
