Abstract
Electrolysis of 1,2-bis(chloromethylphenylsilyl)ethane and 1,2-bis[chloromethyl(p-tolyl)silyl]ethane in 1,2-dimethoxyethane using copper as the electrodes and tetrabutylammonium tetraphenylborate as the supporting electrolyte afforded poly(disilanylene)ethylenes with high molecular weights, in which no silicon-oxygen bonds in the polymer backbone are included. The effect of supporting electrolytes and solvents on the silicon-silicon bond formation is discussed
