Catalytic cross-dehydrocoupling polymerization of silane and water, and deaminative polymerisation between silanol and aminosilane are used to synthesize a variety of silicon-containing polymers with controlled structure. n-Hexylamine-2-ethylhexoate was used to catalyze silanol condensation. Among transition metal derivatives investigated, Pd2(dba)s is the most active catalyst for the dehydrocoupling polymerisation, and deaminative polymerisation proceeded smoothly by heating. Optically active siloxane materials of branched structure were obtained from (S,S)-1,3-dimethyl-1,3- diphenyldisiloxanediol and (S,S)-1,5-di(1-naphthyl}-1,5-diphenyl-1,5-divinyl-3- methyltrisiloxane (>99% ee) as optically active building blocks.
