Catalysed condensative chain polymerization where the catalyst is transferred from reactant polymer to product polymer with high efficiency.
Note: It is recommended that the adjective 'chain' be included in the term catalyst-transfer chain polymerization in circumstances where there may be confusion with respect to whether a chain mechanism is involved.
Examples: Catalyst-transfer cross-coupling polymerization and enzyme-catalyzed polymerizations to form, for example, polypeptides,
