Abstract
Application of graphite-potassium (C8K, THF, 0 degrees C), instead of convential Wurtz-type coupling conditions (Na, toluene, 110 degrees C) , as reducing agent for the preparation of non-ionic, watersoluble pol y(4,7,10,13-tetraoxatetradecylmethylsilane) 1 gives a markedly enhance d yield as well as a high molecular weight polymer of high purity.
