Abstract

AbstractA new synthesis for carboranesiloxane polymers has been discovered. It involves the alcoholysis of the bischlorodimethylsilylcarborane monomers and the generation of the HCl catalyst in situ. Alcoholysis is applicable to the synthesis of most carborane‐siloxane polymers, with the probable exception of the SiB‐1 homopolymers of the larger carboranes. The attack of the BH moieties in the carborane cage can be minimized both by the utilization of a tertiary alcohol and by the addition of excess acid when a primary alcohol is employed.
