A new kind of copolymethyl-epoxysilsesquioxane (CPMES) was synthesized for the first time by a hydrosilation reaction of allyl glycidyl ether (AGE) with the ladder-like polymethylhydrosilsesquioxane (Me-H-T) in the presence of dicyclopentadienylplatinum dichloride (Cp2PtCl2) as catalyst. The graft polymer was characterized by IR spectroscopy, 1H-NMR, 29Si-NMR, x-ray diffraction (XRD), gel-permeation chromatog. (GPC), vapor pressure osmometry (VPO), thermogravimetric anal. (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). CPMES possesses good solubility in organic solvents, and a greatly improved thermostability compared with polymethyl-epoxysiloxane with a single backbone. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Dichlorodi(cyclopenta-1,3-dien-1-yl)platinate(II) (cas: 12083-92-0Reference of 12083-92-0).
Dichlorodi(cyclopenta-1,3-dien-1-yl)platinate(II) (cas: 12083-92-0) belongs to organic chlorides. An organic chloride is an organic compound containing at least one covalently bonded atom of chlorine. Their wide structural variety and divergent chemical properties lead to a broad range of names and applications. Aliphatic organochlorides are often alkylating agents as chlorine can act as a leaving group, which can result in cellular damage.Reference of 12083-92-0
