Structure-based and source-based nomenclature rules are extended to regular double-strand (ladder and spiro) organic polymers. A doublestrand polymer is defined as a polymer the molecules of which are formed by an uninterrupted sequence of rings with adjacent rings having one atom in common (spiro polymer) or two or more atoms in common (ladder polymer). The structure-based nomenclature rests upon the selection of a preferred constitutional repeating unit (CRU) of which the polymer is a multiple.Rules are also provided for denoting substituents and end groups. The source-based nomenclature identifies the starting monomer(s) from which the double-strand polymer is prepared with addition of an appropriate prefix "ladder-" or "spiro-".Users without a subscription are not able to see the full content.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
