EPILOGUE
A wide variety of synthetic methods have been developed to help solve the
low-solubility problems associated with transition-metal coordination polymers.
The characterization of these soluble inorganic polymers is straightforward, and
enough methods are available to ensure good molecular mass determinations for
such polymers. Even so, relatively few soluble metal coordination polymers have
been synthesized and evaluated.
The prospect of long-chain polymers through ring-opening polymerization
has been realized for metallocenes, and new synthetic methods for main group
polymers are proliferating. Even so, enormous possibilities still exist for better
synthetic methodology for a vast array of inorganic polymers. Thus inorganic
polymer synthesis is a fundamental research area for the new millenium.
Numerous uses for inorganic polymers have been developed. For many
of these uses, the inorganic polymers have advantages over their organic
counterparts, but often relatively high cost has precluded the use of the inorganic
polymers, except where the cost differential is less than the advantage perceived
for the polymer. As simpler synthetic methods and larger scale use occur, the
differential will diminish and more uses will flourish. For some uses where no
organic counterpart is satisfactory, the inorganic polymers have been accepted.
Inorganic polymers will undoubtedly be featured in future high-tech nanoscale
materials, where cost may be less of a factor.
Thus the ultimate fate of inorganic polymers rests on future practitioners in
the field and the uses for which the polymers are found to be superior over their
organic counterparts. If recent developments are a guide to the future, the future
for inorganic polymers is very bright indeed.
