Introduction Controlled polymerization has advanced polymer science by enabling the meticulous manipulation of macromolecular architecture, composition, and functionality.[1-6] The ability to reliably target discrete chain lengths with uniform distributions has transformed polymer synthesis into a highly programmable discipline, driving innovation in material science that can meet the demands of modern technologies.[7-11] However, despite its transformative impact, controlled polymerization...
