9. Examples of Polymer Names

To illustrate the present rules for naming various kinds of polymers,examples of polymers are given in this section.The key steps in the naming and the corresponding rule numbers are also given.

Example 1

poly(3'-bromo-2-chloro[1,1':4',1"-terphenyl]-4,4"-diyl)
(Rules 9c, 9f, 12)

Example 2

poly([3,3'-biquinoline]-6,6'-diyl)
(Rules 3c, 12)

Example 3

poly([2,3'-bipyridine]-4,5'-diyl)
(Rules 3c, 12)

Example 4

poly [(Z)-but-1-ene-1,4-diyl]
(double bond takes lowest locant; Rule 10b)

Example 5

diisotactic poly[threo-(E)-3-(methoxycarbonyl)-4-methylbut-1-ene-1,4-diyl]
(double bond takes lowest locant; Rule 10b)

Example 6

poly(ethene-1,2-diyl)

(divalent CRU is preferred to , poly(ethanediylidene); Rule 17)

Example 7

poly[(1-2H)propane-1,3-diyl]
(lowest locant for 2 H; Rule 10d)

Example 8

poly(methylmethylene)
(Rule 18)

Example 9

poly(1-phenylethylene)
(Rule 10d)

Example 10

poly(1,2-dioxobutane-1,4-diyl)
(Rule 10d)

Example 11

poly(1,3-dioxohexane-1,6-diyl)
(Rule 10d)

Example 12

poly(oxyoxalyl)
(O is senior; Rule 1)

Example 13

poly(oxysuccinyl)
(O is senior; Rule 1)

Example 14

poly(naphthalene-2,7-diyl)
(lower free-valence locant on the left; Rule 12)

Example 15

poly(2H-furo[3,2-b]pyran-2,6-diyl)
(lower free-valence locant on the left; Rule 12)

Example 16

poly(pyridine-2,4-diyl) (lower free-valence locant on the left; Rule 12)

Example 17

poly(sodium 1-carboxylatoethylene)
(lower locant for substituent; Rule 10d)

Example 18

poly(x-iminocyclopentane-1,2-diyl)
[lower free-valence locant on the left; Rule 12; the x is required to differentiate the structure from
, poly(iminocyclopentane-1,2-diyl)]

Example 19

poly(pyridine-3,5-diylpiperidine-2,4-diyl)
(pyridine is senior to piperidine; Rule 3a)

Example 20

poly [(4-chloro [3,3'-bipyridine ]-5,5'-diyl)methylene]
(ring assembly is senior to acyclic carbon chain; Rules 1, 3c, 3e, 12)
