This article features recent advances in the synthesis of conjugated polymers via a controlled polymerization. These polymerizations typically rely on transition metal catalyzed cross coupling reactions. The mechanisms of the polymerization protocols are discussed in detail. An overview of all possible protocols and all homopolymers that have been investigated is given. Next, the synthesis of copolymers - random, gradient and block copolymers - is reviewed. Another advantage of a controlled polymerization is the possibility to introduce specific functional groups, either at the beginning of each polymer chain by the use of an external initiator, or at the end of the polymer chain using an endcapper. Finally, topologies different from simple linear polymer chains are discussed. This feature article is complementary to other recent review articles on this topic.[1,2]
