Abstract

Vinyl-containing polysilanes are described wherein the vinyl groups are attached to endblocking sites of intermediate reactivity. These vinyl-containing polysilanes are prepared by reacting a halogen-endblocked polysilane with, first, a non-vinyl-containing Grignard reagent or a non-vinyl organolithium compound whereby the most reactive halogen endblocking groups are replaced; then, second, reacting the resulting polysilane with vinyl Grignard reagent or vinyllithium whereby the halogen endblocking groups of intermediate reactivity are replaced; and, third, reacting the resulting polysilane with a non-vinyl-containing Grignard reagent or a non-vinyl organolithium compound whereby the least reactive halogen endblocking groups are replaced. The vinyl-containing polysilanes can be coverted to ceramic materials, including ceramic fibers, by pyrolysis.
