No activation needed : A topochemical click reaction that dispenses with catalyst, solvent, or other modes of activation takes place in crystals of a sugar derivative. The spontaneous, regiospecific azide–alkyne cycloaddition gives linear polymers that are difficult to synthesize by conventional solution‐state chemistry (see picture).
