Supramolecular copolymers have become of increasing interest in recent years for the search of new materials with tunable properties. In particular, metallo‐supramolecular block copolymers—copolymers in which the blocks are linked together by a metal–ligand complex—have seen important progresses, allowing better control over the synthetic strategies for various architectures, and providing a better understanding of the parameters governing their self‐assembly. We review here recent developments on the synthesis and self‐assembly of such materials achieved in this field.
