Abstract

This Perspective discusses the development of new routes to polyphosphazenes, [R2P[double bond, length as m-dash]N]n, that occur at ambient temperature and, in some cases, allow molecular weight control and access to narrow molecular weight distributions and block copolymers. For example, the room temperature silyl-carborane initiated ring-opening polymerisation of (NPCl2)3 is described together with chain growth condensation polymerisations of phosphoranimines Cl3P[double bond, length as m-dash]NSiMe3 and BrMePhP[double bond, length as m-dash]NSiMe3. Recent works on donor-stabilised cationic phosphoranimines are also discussed.
