Abstract The copolymerization of two or more monomers produces polymeric materials with unique properties that cannot be achieved with homopolymers. However, precise control over the polymer sequence remains challenging because the sequence is determined by the inherent reactivity of comonomers. Therefore, only limited methods using modified monomers or supramolecular interactions are reported. In this study, the sequence control of acrylate‐styrene copolymerization using multinuclear zinc complexes is reported. The copolymerization of the zinc acrylate complex with a polymeric sheet‐like structure and styrene in benzene affords a copolymer with a higher content of acrylate triad than calculated for the statistical random model, whereas tetranuclear zinc acrylate (TZA) affords a copolymer with fewer adjacent acrylate sequences. The copolymer with a higher content of acrylate triad exhibits a lower glass transition temperature because of the higher mobility of the longer polystyrene segments. These results highlight the promise of multinuclear zinc acrylate complexes as monomers for sequence‐controlled copolymerization.
