Stereocomplexation is a powerful strategy for improving polymer properties but inefficient complexation remains a major challenge in stereocomplex formation. Here, the authors circumvent the difficulties of conventional stereocomplexation of preformed polymers and, synthesize two enantiopure polymers of opposite chirality simultaneously and in situ as their stereocomplex via topochemical polymerization.
