Abstract
Just add it! Ruthenium initiators functionalized with hydrogen-bonding sites were utilized in ring-opening metathesis polymerization to prepare heterotelechelic polymers with hydrogen-bonding and metal-coordination units in a single step. Supramolecular ABC triblock copolymers were then self-assembled in one pot by simply adding complementary telechelic polymers to a solution of the heterotelechelic polymer (see picture).
