The structures of some poly(organosilylenes), [Formula: see text] (R = Ph, p-tolyl, n-hexyl, and benzyl), produced by catalytic dehydrogenative coupling of primary silanes have been studied by infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectroscopies. These results, combined with data on molecular weights and molecular weight distributions from vapour pressure osmometry and gel permeation chromatography, lead to the conclusion that the polymers are linear and have SiH2R end groups. The polymers all have degrees of polymerization of ca. 10 and very narrow molecular weight dipersions. Some possible features of the mechanism that gives rise to this behaviour are discussed.

Abstract During the past decade interest in polymer fractionation for evaluating molecular weight distribution has increased. New polymers, such as polypropylene, high density polyethylene and many others have been subjected to extensive characterization, but some older polymers, including natural rubber have not. In recent years column fractionation has received a great deal of attention; a review has been made by Schneider. Most of the techniques of polymer fractionation, such as precipitation from solution and column fractionation, are quite lengthy and require days or even weeks to complete. A more rapid method for molecular weight distribution has been the goal of polymer chemists for years. The most promising of the rapid methods are turbidimetric and gel permeation chromatography by which analysis is accomplished in a few hours. This paper discusses application of gel permeation chromatography to fractionation of elastomers. In addition this technique is compared with data from column fractionation, light scattering and osmometry. Some of the assumed factors used in converting gel permeation data into molecular weights are in error. But by calibration of the gel permeation chromatograph with classical methods reliable data can be obtained.
