Hydrosilylation of ferrocene-containing alkenes and alkynes as a route to siloxane aerogels modified with ferrocene
摘要
The reaction of ferrocene-containing alkenes and alkynes with HSi(OEt)3 and HSiMe(OMe)2 in the presence of Karstedt catalyst (Pt2[(Me2SiCH=CH2)2O]3) was studied. It was found that only terminal alkenes underwent hydrosilylation, while alkynes entered this reaction even in the case of a disubstituted C≡C bond. The synthesized silicon-containing ferrocene derivatives were used as precursors for the preparation of siloxane aerogels, which were characterized by low-temperature nitrogen adsorption, scanning electron microscopy, and Mössbauer spectroscopy.
