Abstract
Poly(methylphenylsilane) has been synthesized through homogeneous redu ctive dechlorination of dichloromethylphenylsilane using sodium/electr on-acceptor complexes in tetrahydrofuran solution at -79-degrees-C. Th e optimization of product molecular weights is considered through anal ogy to a step-growth polymerization.
