Abstract

As part of a succinct synthesis, a new functionalization method leads to hitherto unknown polysilanols with an oligosilane backbone, a class of compounds with remarkable electronic properties. The trifluoroacetolysis of phenyl-substituted hydroxyoligosilanes yield trifluoroacetoxyoligosilanes almost quantitatively, and these can be converted into tri- and tetrasilanol, such as that shown, simply by hydrolysis.
