Novel silicon-containing hydrocarbon rings and polymers via metathesis: X-ray crystal structure of cis,cis-1,1,6,6-tetraphenyl-1,6-disilacyclodeca-3,8-diene
Abstract
Novel disilacyclodeca-3,8-dienes and unsaturated silicon-containing polymers are accessible via metathesis of silacyclopent-3-enes and diallylsilicon reagents using the Schrock catalyst [Mo(NC6H3Pri2-2,6)(CHCMe2Ph){OCMe(CF3)2}2].
