Abstract
A method of controlling the yield of polysilane of a desired molecular weight and/or polydispersity prepared in a reductive condensation of corresponding silane monomers on a solid catalyst dispersed in an inert solvent for both the monomers and the growing polymer chains, comprises determining the variation of molecular weight and/or polydispersity of the polysilane as a function of the solubility of the polysilane in reaction solvent, determining thereby a chosen optimum solubility of the polysilane in solvent for obtaining a desired yield of polysilane of said desired molecular weight and/or polydispersity, and thereafter carrying out the preparation of the polysilane in a solvent in which the polysilane has said chosen optimum solubility.
