Spatial patterning of a polymerization catalyst can be achieved rapidly and efficiently by means of laser interference. In their Communication on page 9665 ff., S. Mecking et al. describe how monomers, upon polymerization, give a replica of the patterned catalyst. The approach is illustrated by the generation of “wires” of polyacetylene, a prototype of a polymer that is not amenable to any postpolymerization processing.
