Thermally Stable Borazine-Based Polymer

Abstract

Hydrosilylation polymerization of 2,4,6-triethynyl-1,3,5-trimethyl-borazine with m-bis(dimethylsilyl)benzene quantitatively gave a novel borazine-based polymer containing carbosilane units. The polymer was soluble in benzene and THF and was characterized by spectral analyses. Thermogravimetric analysis of the polymer was also carried out.
