Synthesis of structured polysiloxazanes via a Piers–Rubinsztajn reaction

Abstract

A series of siloxazanes were successfully prepared by a Piers–Rubinsztajn reaction between methoxydisilazanes and the corresponding hydrosilanes. Polysiloxazanes with narrow dispersion were also synthesized from methoxydisilazanes and Si–H terminated oligosiloxanes. The possible interaction mechanism between tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane and the methoxydisilazane was investigated.
