Graphical Abstract

A sequence-controlled ring-opening metathesis polymerization strategy based on macrobicyclic olefins bearing a sacrificial silyloxide bridge was developed by Hong Yang and co-workers as described in their Communication (e202112526). The cover image depicts a “magic” production line of sequence-defined polymers. The monomeric sequence information shown as a colored ball chain is implanted in the macro-ring, while the small ring induces narrow polydispersity and high regio- and stereospecificity.
