We describe a new modular system for preparing complex polymers from simple building blocks like molecular Tinker Toys. Building blocks are heterobifunctional molecules with azide and protected-alkyne termini and may be macromonomers or small molecules with a specific function like cleavage or chain branching. The figure illustrates preparation of a segmented copolymacromer.
