Abstract

Summary: Novel block copolymers were synthesized in a controlled fashion by nitroxide‐mediated radical polymerization starting from a terpyridine‐modified alkoxyamine. An important feature for controlling the efficiency of the polymerization is the presence of excess nitroxide, responsible for the initial rate of deactivation, which eventually leads to a decrease of the polydispersity indices of the desired block copolymer. The materials obtained were characterized by means of ^1^H NMR, UV‐vis spectroscopy, and GPC. The complexation of the terpyridine ligands resulted in the formation of A‐B‐[Ru]‐C, A‐B‐[Ru]‐B‐A, and A‐B‐[Fe]‐B‐A metallo‐supramolecular block copolymers.

Telechelic polymers bearing a terpyridine end‐group at the α‐position and a nitroxide at the ω‐position were prepared in a living fashion by nitroxide‐mediated polymerization.

## Abstract Summary: Well‐defined AB~2~ 3‐ and AB~4~ 5‐miktoarm star copolymers were prepared by combination of ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) and nitroxide‐mediated radical polymerization (NMRP) using dendritic tri‐ and penta‐functional initiators. Initially, two kinds of dendritic initiators h
