Cover: The combination of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and “click” chemistry was found to be a very efficient and versatile method for preparing well‐defined end‐functional polymers. Polystyrene prepared by ATRP was first transformed into an azide‐functional polymer, which was subsequently involved in 1,3‐dipolar cycloadditions with various functional alkynes. In all cases, the chain‐end transformation reactions were found to be quantitative. Further details can be found in the Communication by J.‐F. Lutz, * H. G. Börner, and K. Weichenhan on page 514.
