Abstract
The synthesis of polyoxyhexakis(dimethylsilylene).1. by the hydrolytic polycondensation of α,ω-dichlorohexakisdimethylsilylene,2. and by cationic ring-opening polymerization of dodecamethyloxahexasilacycloheptane.6Dj, initiated with a protic acid is reported. The possibility of synthesis of alternative copolymers composed of oxyhexakis(dimethylsilylene) units and dimethylsiloxane or oligodimethylsiloxane units were also explored. Polymers are characterized by NMR spectroscopy. Their thermal behavior is discussed.
