Back Cover: Highly isospecific polymerization of silyl‐protected ω‐alkenols, using a combination of [OSSO]‐type bis(phenolato) dichloro zirconium(IV) complex and dMAO as the precatalyst and the activator, respectively, is established. This method represents the first example for a stereoselective polymerization of polar functional α‐olefins ([ mmmm ] > 95%). Subsequently, the obtained terminal siloxy‐substituted isotactic polymer could be readily transformed by a macromolecular desilylation/acetylation reaction sequence to afford the corresponding terminal acetyl‐enriched polymer. Further details can be found in the article by Y. Saito, N. Nakata,* and A. Ishii* on page 969.
