The research proposed herein aims to systematically develop the chemistry of phosphorus and its compounds. Phosphorus is an important element, not only being essential for life but being used in a wealth of commercial products. The primary objective of our work is to develop polymers that contain phosphorus as a key component of the main chain. The properties and potential applications of a particular polymer are a direct consequence of the arrangement and type of atoms that make up the chain structure. Most polymers in use today are comprised of chains containing carbon, oxygen, and/or nitrogen atoms in well-defined sequences. The development of polymers composed of other elements is at its infancy, however, there is considerable promise for these so-called inorganic polymers due to their unique physical properties and chemical functionality. For example, the commercial polymer silicone, consisting of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms, has extreme flexibility and temperature stability that is unattainable with organic polymers. The key challenge to inorganic polymer development is the lack of general synthetic routes to incorporate inorganic elements into long chains.

本文提出的研究旨在系统地开发磷及其化合物的化学。磷是一种重要元素，不仅是生命所必需的，而且还被用于大量的商业产品中。我们工作的主要目标是开发含有磷作为主链关键成分的聚合物。特定聚合物的性能和潜在应用是构成链结构的原子的排列和类型的直接结果。目前使用的大多数聚合物都是由含有明确序列的碳、氧和/或氮原子的链组成。由其他元素组成的聚合物的发展还处于起步阶段，然而，这些所谓的无机聚合物由于其独特的物理性质和化学功能而具有相当大的前景。例如，商业聚合物有机硅由交替的硅和氧原子组成，具有有机聚合物无法达到的极高的柔韧性和温度稳定性。无机聚合物开发的主要挑战是缺乏将无机元素纳入长链的通用合成路线。
