This page is about some exotic inorganic polymers. 
Related a bit to the page: [[Oddball compounds]]. 

For a discussion about polymers in general and for why 1D chain molecules might be a bad idea for most but a few cases in [[gen-gum technology]] see page the page about [[polymer]]s.

Even without covalent cross-linking inter chain forces may be so high that 
they prevent nice rubber like behavior. 
Permanent plastic macroscale deformation and nanoscale chain ruptures from macroscale bending may be to expect?

Also note that (except the silicones) many of the here listed polymers may not be very stable. 
Thermally, mechanically, and chemically.

Some may be chemically aggressive enough to damage human skin on direct contact or 
be unstable when exposed to air.

== Nonvolatile element polymers ==

* TiF4 Titanium tetrafluoride [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanium_tetrafluoride (wikipedia)] – polymeric in contrast to the other tetrahalides of titanium – melts at 377 °C
* Are there more?

'''Geopolymers? No:''' They do not form 1D chains but rather crossling in 3D. 
Thus calling them "polymers" is a bit of a misnomer.

Related: '''[[Emulated elasticity]] should be possible with nonvolatile elements only.''' 
E.g. done by [[diamondoid]] [[crystolecules]] with oxygen based [[nanoscale passivation]].

== Nitrogen linked inorganic polymers ==

A large sub-class of inorganic polymers have a backbone 
with interspersed nitrogen atoms like so [-X-N-] (sidechains are not denoted here). 
X can be one of the elements {B,Si,P,S}.

* (SN)X [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polythiazyl polythiazyl] - conductive [[inorganic polyner]] chain

== Hydrocarbon analogues ==

Silanes are the silicon analogues to simple basic hydrocarbons where
all the silicon atoms are replaced by

Polystannanes

== Elemental ==

* Elemental sulfur can form long linear chains
* Elemental phosphor can feature 2D polymeric structure – [[2D materials]]

== Silicones ==

A well known highly stable sub-class of semi-inorganic polymers are the silicones. 
Silicon atoms with organic side-chains interspersed by oxygen atoms like so: [-SiR2-O-].

== Inorganic polymers containing rare to very rare elements ==

* Beryllium halogenides
* Some platinum compounds
* Tellurium halogenides
