We recently developed the synthesis of the first polymers based on bonds  between sulfur and nitrogen. These polymers were based on the  sulfenamide (R2N-SR), diaminosulfide (R2N-S-NR2), and diaminodisulfide (R2N-S-S-NR2)  functional groups. Prior to this work, no examples of polymers that  possessed these bonds along the backbone had been synthesized. These  inorganic functional groups were readily synthesized in high yields  (>95%) and were stable in organic solvents. The synthesis,  stabilities, and some applications of these polymers will be discussed.
