Monoguanidinato titanium complexes are efficient catalysts to make OH end‐group‐functionalized polyethylene (PE‐OH) by a catalyzed version of Ziegler's “Aufbaureaktion”. This PE‐OH can be structured to mesoporous polyethylene or polyethylene nanofibers/ribbons through diblock copolymer synthesis, microphase separation, and etching of the sacrificial polylactide block.
