Metal-containing Polymers Synthesized via Acyclic Diene Metathesis (ADMET) Polymerization Using Electrochemically-Reduced Tungsten-based Catalyst: Polycarbosilanes

摘要

Acyclic diene metathesis (ADMET) polymerization of dienes containing silicon using elec-trochemically produced active catalyst species (WCl_6-e~-Al-CH_2Cl_2) was investigated. Silicon-containing unsaturated polymers were characterized by ~1H- and ~(13)C-NMR spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and elemental analysis. The thermal behavior of the polymers was determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).
