Example 24

poly(piperidine-3,5-diylideneethanediylidene)
(piperidine ring is senior to acyclic carbon chain; Rule 1)

Example 25

poly(sulfanediylcarbonyl)

Example 31

poly(oxy{[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methylene})
(O is senior to methylene; Rule 1)

Example 32

poly(1,3-phenyleneethylene)
(ring is senior to acyclic carbon chain; Rule 1, 11)

Example 33

poly[(tetramethoxy-1,4-phenylene)(1,2-diphenylethene-1,2-diyl)]

Example 35

poly(morpholine-2,6-diylpyridine-3,5-diylthianthrene-2,8-diyl)

Example 36

poly(naphthalene-2,7-diyl-1,4-phenylenecyclohexane-1,3-diyl)
(two-ring system is senior to single-ring systems; benzene as least hydrogenated is senior to cyclohexane; Rules 8a, 9a, 11, 12)

Example 37

poly(pyridine-3,5-diyl-1,4-phenylenecyclopentane-1,2-diyl)
(heterocycle is senior to carbocycles; larger carbocycle is senior to smaller; Rules 1, 8b, 11, 12)

Example 38

poly(pyridine-4,2-diyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-diylmethylene)
(heterocycles are senior to acyclic carbon chain; larger nitrogen ring; Rules 1, 2d, 12)

Example 39

poly(oxyspiro [3.5]nona-2,5-diene-7,1-diylcyclohex-4-ene-1,3-diyl)
