Switchable polymerization shows considerable potential for simulating the molecular precision of natural biopolymers, such as nucleic acids or proteins, to synthesize highly sequence-controlled macromolecules but is mainly limited to three-and four-component systems. To expand the scope to systems with up to five components, we established a reactivity gradient among 12 monomers, including cyclic anhydrides, cyclic esters, and epoxides. Highly selective competitive anhydride/epoxide, selfswitchable cyclic anhydride/epoxide/cyclic ester, and competitive cyclic ester/trimethylene carbonate copolymerizations were achieved using a simple alkyl metal carboxylate catalyst. Anhydrides gave access to gradient copolymers with reactivity ratios of 2 < r 1 < 5, 0.7 > r 2 > 0.3 giving medium-gradient copolymers and r 1 > 400, r 2 < 0.03 giving block copolymers. Further, the anhydride reactivity was predicted using 13 C NMR chemical shifts. This comonomer library will allow more complex copolymer structures with adjustable sequence, topology, and gradient strength to be predicted and prepared.
