Abstract
1,4-bis(1-Methyl-1-silacyclobutyl)benzene (I) has been prepared by the reaction of 1-chloro-1-methyl-1-silacyclobutane with the di-Grignard reagent prepared fromp-dibromobenzene. In a similar manner, co-oligo(1-silacyclobut-1-ylidene-1,4-phenylene) (II) and co-oligo(1-silacyclobut-1-ylidene-4,4′-biphenylene) (III) have been prepared by condensation oligomerization between 1,1-dichloro-1-silacyclobutane and the di-Grignard reagents prepared fromp-dibromobenzene and 4,4′-dibromobiphenyl, respectively. These have been characterized by1H,13C, and29Si NMR as well as FT-IR and UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight distributions of these co-oligomers have been determined by GPC. Their thermal stabilities have been evaluated by TGA. Thermal degradation of these co-oligomers in nitrogen gives high (60%) char yields. The stability of these chars in air has been determined. TheT g's of these co-oligomers have been measured by DSC. Platinum-catalyzed ring opening of the silacyclobutane rings ofI,II, andIII cross-links these to thermoset materials. The bending moduli (logE′), tan δ, andT g's of these materials have been determined by DMTA. The dielectric constant and dissipation factor of cross-linkedII are reported.
