Abstract
Both soluble and insoluble polysilanes and an insoluble polygermane have been prepared in high yield and at moderate temperatures from the interactions of alkylaryl-, diaryl-, and dialkyl-dichlorosilanes and diphenyldichlorogermane with sodium sand in the presence of 1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxacyclopentadecane (15-crown-5) in refluxing diethyl ether.
