title: Anionic ring-opening polymerization of a strained phosphirene: a route to polyvinylenephosphines.
abstract: A strained 1-phenyl-2,3-dimethylphosphirene undergoes anionic ring-opening polymerization upon initiation with n-butyl lithium at ambient temperature to yield polyvinylenephosphine, an unsaturated organophosphorus polymer.
