New organosilicon fullerene-containing polymers based on 1-silacyclobutanederivatives

New organosilicon fullerene-containing polymers were synthesized by the rea ction of fullerene C-60 with lithium poly(siltrimethylenes) produced by the anionic polymerization of 1-silacyclobutane derivatives. High-molecular-ma ss fractions isolated from the polymer mixture by thin-layer chromatography were studied by HPLC, and IRI UV, and H-1 NMR spectroscopy. It was shown t hat these fractions are composed of molecules in which a fullerene nucleus is attached to two polymer organosilicon chains. The resulting polymers ret ain the properties of the initial poly(siltrimethylenes) and acquire the el ectronic and electrochemical properties of fullerene.
