Abstract

Achieving sequence control in polymers is limited by the relative monomer reactivity and thus often statistically random copolymers are obtained. Here the authors show sequence control in radical polymerizations by immobilising the monomer on a porous coordination polymer and subsequent polymerization with a second free monomer.
