Quasi-single-strand coordination polymer

In this report, both the structure-based and source-based nomenclature rules are extended to regular double-strand (ladder and spiro) organic polymers. Biopolymers, however, such as DNA are not considered here. Rules for quasi-single-strand coordination polymers, resembling spiro polymers yet not covalently bonded, are not included. 

Regular quasi-single-strand coordination polymers... 

A regular linear polymer that can be described by a preferred CRU in which only one terminal constituent subunit is connected through a single atom to the other identical CRU is a quasi-single-strand polymer. Such polymers are named similarly to single-strand coordination polymers.

A Macromolecular Division of IUPAC was created in 1967, and it created a permanent Commission on Macromolecular Nomenclature, parallel to the other nomenclature commissions. The Commission over the years has issued recommendations on basic definitions, stereochemical definitions and notations, structure-based nomenclature for regular singlestrand organic polymers and regular single-strand and quasi-singlc-strand inorganic and coordination polymers, source-based nomenclature for polymers and abbreviations for polymers. All of these are collected in a compendium referred to as the IUPAC Purple Book.
