SYNTHESIS OF GROUP IV ORGANOMETALLIC POLYMERS AND RELATED COMPOUNDS
Abstract
The synthesis and characterization are described of linear polymers, having a carbon chain regularly interrupted by the Group IV elements silicon, germanium, tin, or lead. Such polymers were obtained by means of: (1) poly- addition reactions involving an organotin dihydride and either a dienic, a diynic, or a monoynic compound; (2) Wurtz-type poly-condensations involving appropriate combinations of p-chlorophyenyl and chloro derivatives of the Group IV elements. The synthesis and polymerization of vinyl-type Group IV organometallic monomers is dealt with briefly. Furthermore, interesting Group IV metal-containing heterocycles were prepared and also a few polymers containing, in addition to Group IV atoms, other, other heteroelements in their backbone. All polymer-forming reactions were studied by carrying out model reactions on a low-molecular weight level.
