Polysiloxanes are commonly used in a myriad of applications, and the ''click'' nature of the thiol-ene reaction is well suited for introducing alternative functionalities or for crosslinking these ubiquitous polymers. As such, understanding of the thiol-ene reaction in the presence of silicones is valuable and would lead to enhanced methodologies for modification and crosslinking. Here, the thiol-ene reaction kinetics were investigated in functionalized oligosiloxanes having varying degrees of thiol functionalization (SH), p-p interactions (from diphenyls, DP), and ene types (C¼ ¼C). In the ene-functionalized oligomers, p-p interactions were controlled through the use of dioctyl repeats (DO). The polymerization rate and rate-limiting steps were determined for all systems containing an allyl-functionalized oligomer, and rates ranging from 0.10 to 0.54 mol L À1 min À1 were seen. The rate-limiting step varied with the oligomer composition; examples of rate-limited propagation (5:3:2 C¼ ¼C:DP:DO/1:1 SH:DP) or chain transfer (5:3:2 C¼ ¼C:DP:DO/3:1 SH:DP) were found in addition to cases with similar reaction rate constants (5:2:3 C¼ ¼C:DP:DO/1:1 SH:DP). None of the siloxanes were found to exhibit autoacceleration despite their relatively high viscosities. Instead, the allyl-, vinyl-, and acrylate-functionalized siloxanes were all found to undergo unimolecular termination based on their high a scaling values (0.98, 0.95, and 0.82, respectively) in the relation R p ! R i a .
