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).
