- Abstract
Heterochain polymers such as DNA and proteins are abundant in nature, but they are not ubiquitous in man‐made polymers due to the synthetic difficulties. Traditional polymerization methodologies including chain polymerization, step‐growth polymerization, and coordination polymerization all show obvious drawbacks in synthesizing heterochain polymers. The alkyne multicomponent polymerizations (MCPs) developed in the early 2000s open a new door for the synthesis of conjugated heterochain polymers with diverse structures and unique properties. This review presents the progress in novel heterochain polymers constructed by alkyne‐based MCPs in the last three years. The unique properties and high‐tech applications brought by heteroatoms and MCPs are summarized and perspectives on future directions are also discussed.
