Popis: Sequence plays a crucial role in dictating the properties and applications of both natural and artificial polymers. Therefore, chemists have made great efforts to control the sequence of monomers along a polymer chain in the past decades. This focus review outlines the recent advances in sequence-controlled polymers (SCPs), mainly based upon the author’s research on constructing SCPs through maleimide chemistry, and discusses their potential applications. Sequence precise regulation provides the possibility to probe the fundamental relationship between structure and properties in artificial polymers. Recent progress in sequence regulation through maleimide chemistry is focused on in this review, which put emphasis on the development of three strategies taking advantages of the versatile chemical properties of maleimide.
