High-performance recyclable polymers enabled by stereo- and sequence-controlled polymerization

Nature Chemistry, Published online: 16 May 2025; doi:10.1038/s41557-025-01828-6

Achieving precise stereocontrol and sequence control over polymer microstructure is a formidable challenge in synthetic polymer chemistry. Catalyst modification has now enabled the stereo- and sequence-controlled polymerization of BDPO-based monomers (M) to afford isoenriched block polymers P(cis-M)-b-P(trans-M), which have tunable properties and can be converted back to monomers.
