Lm. Bronstein et al., THE CATALYTIC BEHAVIOR OF PT-CONTAINING AND RH-CONTAINING POLYMERS DERIVED FROM POLYSTYRENE-POLYBUTADIENE BLOCK-COPOLYMERS IN HYDROSILYLATION, Polymer bulletin, 40(2-3), 1998, pp. 173-180
The novel Pt-and Rh-containing polymers based on polystyrene-polybutad
iene block copolymers were studied in hydrosilylation of three systems
of reagents: styrene/triethylsilane, 1-hexene/dimethylchlorosilane, a
nd cyclohexanone/triethylsilane. All polymers containing Pt and Rh com
plexes were found to display some catalytic effect whose effectiveness
for the same system of reagents is dependent on the nature of the pol
ymeric ligand. On the other hand, the reagent nature influences even m
ore strongly the catalytic properties of polymers. No side products of
hydrosilylation was observed with Rh-containing polymer catalysts in
cyclohexanone/triethylsilane system.
