Recycling thermosetting materials presents itself as a major challenge in achieving sustainable material use. Dynamic covalent cross-linking of polymers has emerged as a viable solution that can combine the structural integrity of thermosetting materials with the (re-)processability of thermoplastics. Thioether linkages between polymer chains are quite common, and their use dates back to the vulcanization of rubbers. While it is known that thioether bonds can be triggered to exchange through transalkylation reactions, this process is usually slow, as thioether moieties not only have to be activated by an alkylating agent, but the activated thioether also has to associate with a second thioether moiety in a classical S
