Ruthenium complex-catalysed selective redistribution reaction of aryltrihydrosilanes and desilanative polymerization of bis(trihydrosilyl)benzenes
Abstract
Ruthenium complexes catalyse desilanative condensation of bis(trihydrosilyl)benzenes to give poly[(dihydrosilylene)(phenylene)]s, a new class of organic–inorganic hybrid polymers that allow numerous transformations.
