In this book chapter, various types of click and orthogonal multiple click, and multicomponent reactions (MCRs), alone or in combination, are presented for the design and preparation of complex macromolecular structures with diverse topologies (block, graft, and star-shaped), some of which had been never achieved before. These reactions enable straightforward coupling of various reactive building blocks, often by different polymerization methods, to produce macromolecular architectures, such as block, graft, and star polymers, through one-pot or sequential reaction techniques. The relevant publications are listed in tables according to the date of their appearance in the literature, from oldest to newest.
