Cyclic polymers have unique physical properties and attract extensive attention, but the precision synthesis of complex cyclic polymers is a challenging subject. Herein, by using a polymeric ladderphane with six living ends as the initial motif, complex trefoil-shaped tricyclic polymers were precise...
