U. Herzog et al., PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF OLIGOMERIC AS WELL AS POLYMERIC ETHYNYLSILANES CONTAINING SI-2-SI-4 UNITS, Journal fur praktische Chemie, Chemiker-Zeitung, 339(7), 1997, pp. 603-606
The treatment of methylchlorodisilanes with ethynyldigrignard (BrMgC=C
MgBr) resulted in oligomeric as well as polymeric ethynyldisilanes. Th
e kind of this products is related to the chloro functionality of the
starting disilane. The reaction of SiClMe(SiCl2Me)(2) as well as SiMe(
SiCl2Me)(3) yielded polymers beside small amounts of the monomeric pro
ducts (HC=C)MeSi[SiMe(C=CH)(2)](2) and MeSi[SiMe(C=CH)(2)](3).
