Chemical Reactions and Properties of Organosilicon Compounds Related to New Materials.
Abstract
Chemistry of compounds containing silicon-silicon double bonds was investigate. Two new disilenes were synthesized and rotational barriers to cis-trans interconversion were determined to be 25-31 Kcal/mol. Oxidation of disilenes led to the 1,3-cyclodisiloxanes, as well as to disilene epoxide and 1,2-dioxetanes, all novel structures. Many new polysilane high polymers were synthesized, and their photoactivity was investigated. Several new methods for crosslinking of polysilanes were developed, and the first polysilanes containing functional side groups were prepared. Several cyclosilane families of compounds were also investigated.
