Abstract:Novel polysilanes, antimony-substituted polysilanes (APS) and iron-substituted polysilanes (IPS), were synthesized and characterized in this paper. To prepare these new metal-containing polymers, high reactive polymers, polymethylsilane (PMS) and polychloromethylsilane (PCMS) were used as mother polymers. The APS was synthesized directly by the reaction of PMS with SbCl 3 , while IPS was obtained from the reaction of PCMS with Na 2 Fe(CO) 4 in the solvent of n-hexane. The polymers were characterized by element… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
