Accommodating the increasing demand for tailor-made polymers is a major goal in polymer chemistry. Therefore, the investigation of polymerization techniques, which allow the precise synthesis of macromolecules is of exceptional interest. Ionic or controlled radical polymerization are capable living-type methods for the generation of uniform polymers. However, even these approaches reach their limits in certain issues. In the last decades, group-transfer polymerization (GTP) and especially metal-catalyzed GTP have proven to give access to a plethora of tailor-made homo- and copolymers based on α,β-unsaturated monomers. Thereby, GTP has established its potential in the development of functional and smart polymers. This concept article highlights the most significant progress in metal-catalyzed GTP with a focus on functional (co)polymers including different polymeric architectures and microstructures.
满足对定制聚合物日益增长的需求是聚合物化学的一个主要目标。因此，对能够精确合成大分子的聚合技术进行研究格外令人关注。离子聚合或可控自由基聚合是生成均匀聚合物的活性型方法。然而，即使是这些方法在某些问题上也有其局限性。在过去几十年中，基团转移聚合（GTP），尤其是金属催化的GTP已被证明能够合成大量基于α,β-不饱和单体的定制均聚物和共聚物。由此，GTP在功能和智能聚合物的开发中展现出了潜力。这篇概念文章重点介绍了金属催化GTP在功能（共）聚合物方面取得的最重要进展，包括不同的聚合物结构和微观结构。
