Abstract
Plastics persistently permeate our global and local ecosystems and resist degradation. Boron-nitrogen-carbon (BNC) polymers (aka plastics) are composed of boron-nitrogen bonds that mimic carbon-carbon double bonds. However, the lone pair on nitrogen and the empty orbital on boron allows these to be structurally similar but electronically different. The history, and synthesis of BNC monomers and polymers, as well as future directions, will be discussed.
