This presentation will overview work within our group on the first random entropy-driven ring-opening olefin metathesis copolymerization of an olefin-containing macrocycle with an olefin-containing [2]-catenane. Results indicate that main-chain pseudorotaxane copolymers were obtained. Furthermore, simple stoichiometric adjustment of the monomer/comonomer feed ratio thus controlled the specific average linear-number-density of macrocycles that were threaded upon the polymer chain, from 0 to 100% saturation.
