Since Ziegler, Hogan and Banks’ seminal discoveries for the catalytic polymerization of olefins, many generations of catalysts have been reported [1–5]. These include the transition from the original heterogeneous catalysts (Ziegler and Phillips) to homogeneous catalysts combining metallocene, post-metallocene and late transition metal-based catalysts. The development of new catalysts has enabled a higher control over polyolefin architecture and composition. Despite the tremendous achievements made in the last few decades, the chemical tunability offered by catalytic olefin polymerization remains limited. Therefore, alternative strategies have been developed to further expand the chemical and topological control achieved by current methods and ultimately to advance the material properties of the polymers. A strategy combining insertion polymerization and olefin metathesis has emerged as an alternative way to introduce chemical functionalities to polyolefins. The orthogonal reactivity of these two reactions while sharing the same substrate (olefin) provides a unique avenue to expanding the topology and composition of polyolefins (Figure 1).Three approaches, distinguished by the order at which the olefin insertion polymerization and olefin metathesis are performed, have been developed. The first approach consists of performing the insertion polymerization first to yield a polyolefin, followed by an olefin metathesis post-polymerization functionalization to introduce functional groups
