Dehydrocoupling and hydrosilation reactions of the Si-H bonds in poly(phenylsilane) catalyzed by B(C6F5)3 allow the preparation of new polymers containing both Si-H and Si-SR side chains. This postpolymerization modification takes place without any observable competing Si-Si bond cleavage, unlike other Lewis acid, transition-metal, or radical mediated routes. The -SR-functionalized polymers have been characterized by GPC, IR, UV-vis, elemental analysis, and 1H, 13C, and 29Si NMR.
