Abstract
Diallyldimethylsilane, 4,4,7,7-tetramethyl-4,7-disiladeca-1,9-diene and 1,4-bis(allyldimethylsilylbenzene) undergo acyclic diene metathesis polymerization when catalyzed by highly active tungsten alkylidenes to give poly(1,1-dimethyl-1-silapent-3-ene), poly(1,1,4,4-tetramethyl-1,4-disilaoct-6-ene) and poly[1-(dimethylsilyl)-4-(1,1-dimethylsilapent-3-en-1-yl)phenylene], respectively. Dimethyldivinylsilane copolymerizes with 1,9-decadiene to give poly(1,1-dimethyl-1-silapropene)-co-octenamer.
