## Abstract The metal catalyzed azide/alkyne ‘click’ reaction (a variation of the Huisgen 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition reaction between terminal acetylenes and azides) has vastly increased in broadness and application in the field of polymer science. Thus, this reaction represents one of the few unive

✦ Synopsis
the azide/alkyne-''click''reaction (also termed CuAAc) has had enormous impact within the field of polymer science. Thus, 220 original papers have been published in the context of click-chemistry and polymer science, more than 20 Reviews and at least 10 patents have appeared, altogether stressing the importance of this reaction. Given the short timeline for the discovery of Cu(I)-catalysis by Meldal et al. and Sharpless et al. in 2002 and the first published applications in polymer science ( 2004), someone can ask the question ''where does it stem from'', and -in the same line -find a quick answer: a high efficiency-reaction, coupled with a high functional group tolerance and solvent insensitivity (also highly active in water), working equally well under homogeneous and heterogeneous conditions certainly ranks
