Coordinative chain transfer polymerization (CCTP) based on the single-site transition metal based catalyst and chain transfer agent is a kind of method for olefin polymerization. CCTP can be used for tuning the microstructure and architecture of polyolefin efficiently

and is paid attention to widely by the academic and industrial. The basic mechanism of CCTP was discussed

and then controlled/living catalyzed chain growth and chain shuttling polymerization (CSP) was also discussed due to the similar reaction mechanism. The coordinative chain transfer homopolymerizaiton and copolymerization of ethylene

propylene and long chain α-olefin were reviewed and discussed. The research and develop of novel polyolefin materials based CSP method were also reviewed and discussed. The perspective of CCTP was discussed in the end.
