Cover: The graphic shows the use of the xanthate‐type chain transfer agent for controlled radical polymerization of N ‐vinylcarbazole. Good control of the polymerization was confirmed by the narrow polydispersity of the products, feasibility to control molecular weight based on the monomer to chain transfer agent ratio (left figure), linear increase in molecular weight with the conversion (middle figure), and ability to extend the chains by the second addition of the monomer (right figure). Further details can be found in the Full Paper by H. Mori, * H. Ookuma, S. Nakano, and T. Endo * on page 1005.
