Polyarylphosphonates and related polymers were generated through metal catalyzed phosphorus-carbon bond forming reactions using spirocyclic bisphosphites as monomers.  The effect of metal source, loading, and reaction conditions on the polymerization will be presented.  The bisphosphite was also used to generate metallopolymers through condensation polymerizations using organogold compounds as substrates.  Protodeauration reactions between the organometallic precursors and the bisphosphite served to link the components together.  Studies of key steps in both processes using representative model systems served to support mechanistic proposals.<br/>
