Abstract
Polysilanes obtained by a Wurtz reaction from alkyl (isobutyl, hexyl, cyclohexyl, β-phenetyl and 2-phenylpropyl) trichlorosilanes are investigated. In contrast to linear polysilanes, the observed photoluminescence is in the visible region and has a broad band width. This photoluminescence is shown to originate from the high dimensionality of the network structure of these polymers
