Abstract
Pt(cod)2 catalyzed dehydrocoupling of acyclic and cyclic secondary silanes R1R2SiH2[R1, R2 = alkyl group; R1 + R2 = (CH2)n(n = 3,4,5); R1 + R2 = o-biphenylene] to afford polysilanes while a (CH3)2Pt(cod)-catalyzed reaction of silacyclobutane (n = 3) resulted in selective ring-opening polymerization.Keywords
