Study of polycarbosilane-supported copper(II) as a heterogeneous catalyst

A Heteroatom‐Containing Functional Poly(Silylenevinylene): Synthesis, Anion Binding, and Sensing of Anion Extraction Processes

“…This emphasis has been driven in part by the substantial physicochemical properties of these materials, including good solution processability an effective delocalization between respective 𝜎 and 𝜋 orbitals of Si and double bonds. It has also been stimulated by potential applications of polycarbosilanes as diverse as preceramic material, [2,3] carbon dioxide-selective membrane, [4] antibacterial agent, [5] stationary phase in gas chromatography, [6] protein adsorbent, [7] catalytic support, [8] and in various healthcare, drug delivery and biomedical engineering applications. [9,10] Poly(silylenevinylene)s (PSVs), synthesized via polyhydrosilylation of alkyne and silane monomers, constitute an important sub-set of polycarbosilanes, featuring an exclusive alternate arrangement of silylenevinylene bonds.…”
