Transition metal-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of strained, silicon-bridged bis(benzene)chromium complexes

Abstract

Silicon-bridged bis(benzene)chromium complexes (sila[1]chromarenophanes) undergo facile transition metal-catalyzed ROP at ambient temperature in the presence of Karstedt's catalyst to yield polychromarenylsilanes, the first homopolymers with main chains of Cr(arene)2 and organosilane units.
