Recent studies have shown that rare earth metal-mediated group transfer polymerization
(REM-GTP) can be applied to a variety of polar monomers, besides the classic (meth)-
acrylates or (meth)acrylamides, giving access to new polymeric materials. This article
highlights progress in this new fi eld and gives a current overview of the initiation and
propagation of vinylphosphonates, the extension to Michael-type nitrogen-coordinating
monomers, and application to block copolymers, statistical copolymers, and 2D and 3D structures. Based on molecular understanding and high-precision synthesis, REMGTP
represents a versatile method for the preparation of new materials.
