There are relatively few reports on cyclic polymers, partly because of the more demanding synthetic procedures. In recent years, 'click' reaction, especially Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition(CuAAC), has been widely utilized in the synthesis of cyclic polymer materials because of its high efficiency and low susceptibility to side reactions. In this review, we will focus on three aspects:(1) Constructions of monocyclic polymer using CuAAC 'click' chemistry;(2) Formation of complex cyclic polymer topologies through CuAAC reactions;(3) Using CuAAC 'click' reaction in the precise synthesis of molecularly defined macrocycles. We believe that the CuAAC click reaction is playing an important role in the design and synthesis of functional cyclic polymers.展开更多
