Together with ring‐opening metathesis polymerization, a controlled protocol of a progressive addition of the ultrafast‐initiating and more reactive third‐generation Grubbs catalyst yields a dendronized polymer (denpol) containing multi‐anthraquinone‐terminated dendrons (AQ‐ ter ‐denpol) ( M n =14.0 kDa) with a unimodal molar mass distribution (polydispersity index=1.20), fully characterized by 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. AQ‐ ter ‐denpol is investigated as an organic cathode material for rechargeable Li‐ion batteries, with a view to its unique morphology. Our methodologies establish an opportunity for developing a new generation of organic electrodes based on denpols.
