Abstract
The dehydrogenative coupling of substituted phenylsilanes XC6H4SiH3 (X = p-CF3 (2a), m-CF3 (2b), o-CF3 (2c), p-CH3 (3a), m-CH3 (3b), o-CH3 ( 3c), H (4)) was carried out with Cp2Zr(Si(SiMe3)3)Me (1b). The molecul ar weight of the polymers produced ranged from 1000 to 3000 (vs polyst yrene) with PDI = 1.5-2.4. Relative rates of polymerization for the su bstituted phenylsilanes were deduced by copolymerization reactions wit h phenylsilane.
