Diversification of polymer structures is important for imparting various properties and functions to polymers, so as to realize novel applications of these polymers. In this regard, diversity-oriented polymerization (DOP) is a powerful synthetic strategy for producing diverse and complex polymer structures. Multicomponent polymerization (MCP) is a key method for realizing DOP owing to its combinatorial features and high efficiency. Among the MCP methods, Cu-catalyzed MCP (Cu-MCP) has recently paved the way for DOP by overcoming the synthetic challenges of the previous MCP methods. This review discusses the emergence and progress of Cu-MCP, its current challenges, and future perspectives. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
