Abstract
Abstract Dihydridocarbonyltris(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium, activated with a stoichiometric amount of styrene, catalyzes the hydrosilylation polymerization of dimethylsilyloxyaryl ketones or aldehydes as well as the copolymerization of aromatic α,ω-diketones and oligo-α,ω-dihydridodimethylsiloxanes to yield poly(silyl ethers). The ruthenium catalyzed addition of Si–H bonds across C–O double bonds to form CH–O–Si bonds is key to the polymerizations.
