Doesn't have to be strictly organic to live: Living polymerizations of inorganic monomers provide a route to block copolymers that self-assemble in thin films or selective solvents to form functional nanodomains containing inorganic elements. An exciting addition to this field involves the recently reported living anionic addition polymerization of phosphaalkenes (see scheme; Mes=2,4,6-Me3C6H2).
