Abstract
Pyrrole-based polymers (PBPs), a type of fascinating functional polymers, play a crucial role in materials science. However, efficient synthetic strategies of PBPs with diverse structures are mainly focused on conjugated polypyrroles and still remain challenging. Herein, an atom and step economy protocol is described to access various 2,4-disubstituted PBPs by in situ formation of pyrrole core structure via copper-catalyzed [3+2] polycycloaddition of dialkynones and diisocyanoacetates. A series of PBPs is prepared with high molecular weight (Mw up to 18 200 Da) and moderate to good yield (up to 87%), which possesses a fluorescent emission located in the green to yellow light region. Blending the PBPs with polyvinyl alcohol, the stretchable composite films exhibit a significant strengthening of the mechanical properties (tensile stress up to 59 MPa, elongation at break >400%) and an unprecedented stress-responsive luminescence enhancement that over fourfold fluorescent emission intensity is maintained upon stretching up to 100%. On the basis of computational studies, the unique photophysical and mechanical properties are attributed to the substitution of carbonyl chromophores on the pyrrole unit.

Abstract
Multicomponent polymerization (MCP) is an innovative field related to polymer-based chemistry that offers numerous advantages derived from multicomponent reactions (MCRs). One of the key advantages of MCP is its ability to achieve high efficiency. Additionally, MCP offers other advantages, including operational simplicity, mild reaction conditions, and atom economy. MCP is a versatile technique that is used for synthesizing a wide range of analogs from several classes of heterocyclic compounds. The ring structures of heterocyclic polymers give them different mechanical, photophysical, and electrical properties to other types of polymers. Because of their unique properties, heterocyclic polymers have been widely utilized in various significant applications. MCRs are a type of chemical reaction that can be used to synthesize a wide variety of compounds in a single pot, which allows researchers to quickly assemble libraries of compounds. The development of MCPs from MCRs has made it easier to access a library of polymers with tunable structures. However, MCPs related to alkynes or acetylene triple bonds have more potential. In this review study, we provide an overview of the synthesis of heteroatom-functional polymers and alkyne-based development or other reactions such as Cu-catalyzed, catalyst-free, MCCP, MCTPs, green monomers, A3 coupling reactions, Passerini reactions, and sequence- and controlled-multicomponent polymerization. The up-to-date progress provides a convenient and efficient kind of approach related to heteroatoms and MCP synthesis, and perspectives in terms of future directions are also discussed in the study.

Abstract
Stemming from unique ring structures, heterocyclic polymers exhibit distinguished electrical, mechanical, and photophysical properties and have been widely used in a variety of important applications. Along with the technological significance are the challenges in their synthesis. Traditional synthetic strategies toward heterocyclic polymers often require the direct attachment of heterocycles to polymer backbones, which are generally limited by the lack of suitable and low-cost heterocyclic monomers, tedious reaction process, difficulties in incorporation of multiple substitutents, etc. Alternatively, in situ construction of heterocyclic polymers via triple-bond based polymerization offers promising prospects. This review summarized the recent progress on polymerizations of triple-bond based monomers including alkynes, nitriles, and isonitriles that can in situ generate heterocyclic polymers. The properties and advanced applications of the derived heterocyclic polymers will also be discussed. Finally, the future perspectives and challenges in this field will be addressed.

Abstract
As the core of polymer chemistry, manufacture of functional polymers is one of research hotspots over the past several decades. Various polymers are developed for diverse applications due to their tunable structures and unique properties. However, traditional step-by-step preparation strategies inevitably involve some problems, such as separation, purification, and time-consuming. The multicomponent reactions (MCRs) are emerging as environmentally benign synthetic strategies to construct multifunctional polymers or composites with pendant groups and designed structures because of their features, such as efficient, fast, green, and atom economy. This mini review summarizes the latest advances about fabrication of multifunctional fluorescent polymers or adsorptive polymeric composites through different MCRs, including Kabachnik-Fields reaction, Biginelli reaction, mercaptoacetic acid locking imine reaction, Debus-Radziszewski reaction, and Mannich reaction. The potential applications of these polymeric composites in biomedical and environmental remediation are also highlighted. It is expected that this mini-review will promote the development preparation and applications of functional polymers through MCRs.

Abstract
Research interest in the isocyanide-based reaction can be traced back to 1921 when the Passerini reaction was first reported. However, most of these research efforts did not lead to important progress in the synthesis of isocyanide-based polymers (IBPs). The major challenge resides in the lack of highly efficient polymerization methods, which limits large-scale preparation and applications. Modern organic chemistry provides efficient access to develop functional IBPs on the basis of isocyanide chemistry. However, it is still challenging to prepare the IBPs with small molecular isocyanide reaction. Our investigations into catalyst exploration and polymerization methodology have prompted the synthesis of a series of IBPs. Two classes of isocyanide monomers can be used for the construction of IBPs. The first class includes monomers with a single isocyanide. Novel catalysts for the synthetic chemistry of isocyanide allow the introduction of functional pendants into the linear polymer chains. This molecular functionalization endows the polymers with an array of new functional properties. For example, the incorporation of a chromophore on the polymeric side chain provides novel functional properties, such as aggregation-induced emission and optical activity. Diisocyanide monomers can be also utilized for the construction of heterocyclic, spiro-heterocyclic, and bispiro-heterocyclic polymers in the polymeric backbones. A new concept of "multi-component spiropolymerization" has been developed for the preparation of spiropolymers using the catalysis-free one-pot reaction. Proper structural design allows for the preparation of a heterocyclic polymeric chain with natural bioactivity and biological compatibility, generating new IBPs with biofunctionalities.In this Account, we discuss progress mainly made in our lab and related fields for the design of isocyanide monomers, exploration of new catalysts, and optimization of reaction conditions. The subsequent section discusses the characteristic properties and applications of selected examples of these functional polymers, mainly focusing on their optical applications. We have investigated the UV-sensitive IBPs that could potentially be used for lithography applications. One-pot highly efficient polymerization of diisocyanides and CO2 under mild conditions can provide a new method for realizing the reuse of CO2 and reducing the greenhouse effect. Through a combination of structural modifications, IBPs bearing dimethylbenzene moieties exhibit characteristics of black materials that can be potentially utilized as pyroelectric sensors, thermal detectors, and optical instruments. Most recently, our group synthesized a spiro-heterocyclic IBP with clusterization-triggered emission properties that can be used to discriminate cancer cells from normal cells and provides a new method for the treatment of cancer. The studies reviewed in this Account suggest that polymerization with isocyanide chemistry can be implemented in diverse functional macromolecules and materials.

Abstract
Polymers containing iminofuran (PIFs) are rarely reported due to the lack of simple and effective synthesis methods. In this work, a novel multicomponent cyclopolymerization (MCCP) of diisocyanides, activated alkynes, and 1,4-dibromo-2,3-butanedione using catalyst-free one-pot reactions under mild conditions to prepare PIFs containing bromomethyl groups is reported. PIFs with good solubility and thermal stability are obtained with high Mw s (up to 19 600) and good yields (up to 89.5%) under optimized polymerization conditions. The structure of the PIFs is characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and gel permeation chromatography. The photophysical properties indicate that polymers P1a2b3 and P1c2b3 have cluster-triggered emission characteristics. Thin films made from PIFs quickly degrade under UV irradiation. Moreover, the obtained polymers are decorated with bromomethyl and carboxylate groups in the side chain, which can be postfunctionalized to prepare multifunctional materials, such as star branched polymers and biomedical carrier materials. Thus, this work not only enriches the field of polymerization based on isocyanates and activated alkynes but also provides a facile strategy toward functional iminofuran polymers.

Abstract
As an important nitrogen source, isocyanides have been involved in numerous organic reactions. As a result, many complicated compounds have been successfully synthesized through isocyanide chemistry. However, compared with its popular research in organic reactions, the application of isocyanides in polymerization is less investigated. In this work, a new polymerization based on isocyanide monomers is established. By simply mixing diisocyanoacetates and dialdehydes in the presence of a catalytic system of CuCl/PPh3 /organobase in dichloromethane at room temperature readily produces soluble and thermally stable oxazoline-containing polymers with moderate weight-averaged molecular weights (Mw up to 11 200) in excellent yields (up to 97%) after 6 h. Furthermore, introducing the tetraphenylethene moiety into the main chains endows the resultant polymers with aggregation-induced emission, which can function as fluorescent probes for Fe3+ ion detection with high sensitivity and selectivity. This work not only enriches the family of isocyanide-based polymerizations but also provides an efficient tool for the preparation of functional heterocycle-containing polymers.

Abstract
Conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable chemicals in gentle conditions is a great challenge in sustainable and energy chemistry. Here we report a CO2-participated polymerization using frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) as the monomer, which allows us to obtain well-defined CO2/FLP alternating copolymers with high molecular weights (∼50000) and quantitative conversions (∼95%), resembling a "click" polymerization of CO2 gas and FLP molecules. In comparison to other CO2-based polymerizations, this method features spontaneity, catalyst-free, and speediness, as well as can realize in ambient temperature (20 °C) and low CO2 pressure conditions (1.0 atm). Moreover, owing to the dynamic covalent bonding between CO2 and FLP unit, such a class of alternating copolymers upon heating can depolymerize into initial monomers and release CO2, which could make them as recyclable smart materials for reversible C1 fixation and release.
