New method for the synthesis of cage and polymeric metallosiloxanes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF02641553

Cage organometallosiloxanes were synthesized according to a new procedure using monomeric organoalkoxysilanes as the starting compounds. The latter were subjected to hydrolysis immediately before the exchange reaction of sodium silanolate with metal halides. Difficultly accessible metallovinylsiloxanes, metallomethylsiloxanes, and metallosiloxanes containing a functional group in the organic radical at the silicon atom can be readily prepared according to the method proposed.
