Inorganic polymers - according to IUPAC recommendations of 2007, polymers that do not contain carbon atoms in the main chain. [1] In this case, polymers with an organic side radical , or, in a particular case, with an organic side substituent, are not excluded. [one]

Classification
Homo chain polymers
Only carbon ( allotropic modification of carbin ) and chalcogenes (plastic modification of sulfur ) possess the ability to form homo-chain inorganic polymers.
Heterochain Polymers
Many pairs of elements, for example silicon and oxygen ( silicone ), mercury and sulfur ( cinnabar ), are capable of forming hetero-chain inorganic polymers with the general formula [-XY-] n .
Example
An example of an inorganic polymer is a polymer compound of bismuth with fluorine (BiF 5 ) ∞ (polymerized bismuth pentafluoride).
