Abstract

Abstract Five new permethylated linear polysilanes of the formula CH 3 [Si (CH 3) 2] n CH 3, where n is equal to 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12, have been prepared from the co-condensation of appropriate chlorosilanes using sodium-potassium alloy as condensing agent in a benzene- ligroin or benzene-n-heptane mixture. These compounds are all white crystalline substances. The melting points display a regular progression as the number of silicon ...
