Reductive halocyclosilazane polymerization
The synthesis of a chloro-functionalized six-membered cyclosilazane (Si5N) is reported on. Subsequent reductive polymerizations yielded low molecular weight polysilazanes. 1 H and 29 Si NMR characterization suggest the identity of the reducing metal influences the polysilazane structure.Furthermore, optical characterization is consistent with extended σ-conjugation upon polymerization.
