Abstract
Pt(cod)(2) catalyzes dehydrocoupling of acyclic and cyclic secondary s ilanes R1R2SiH2 [R-1, R-2 = alkyl group; R-1 + R-2 = (CH2)(n) (n = 3, 4, 5); R-1 + R-2 = o-biphenylene] to afford polysilanes while a (CH3)( 2)Pt(cod)-catalyzed reaction of silacyclobutane (n = 3) resulted in se lective ring-opening polymerization.
