Metalorganic Synthesis of Modified Polycarbosilanes. I. Benzylidene Bridged PolycarbosilanesBy single step reaction of the monomeric silanes diphenyl-, phenylmethyl, dimethyl-, methyl-vinyl- and methyldichlorosilanes with α,α-dibromotoluene as carbosilane bridge builder and magnesium as reducing agent a series of modified linear polycarbosilanes was prepared. This new synthetic route - a simple variation of the Grignard method - allowed the synthesis of the oligomeric products in large amounts. In addition, the sensitive functional groups SiH and SiCH = CH2 were completely preserved during the course of the reaction, in contrast to the direct synthesis with sodium as reductive agent.The structures of the viscous polycarbosilanes were characterized by a highly rate of alternating Si-C-systems.The modified polycarbosilanes were analysed and investigated by IR-, 1H-, 13C- and 29Si-NMR-spectroscopy. The weight and number averages Mw and Mn, which were determined by gel-permeation chromatography, clearly reflected the oligomeric character of these compounds.
