Solid State of Polymolybdenum(VI) Phenylsiloxanes - Synthesis and Structure
Abstract
Interaction of molybdenyl(VI) bis(acetylacetonate) with polyphenylsiloxane in xylene and under mechanochemical activation conditions has been investigated. The interaction of the above reagents under mechanical activation conditions proceeds with formation of soluble polymers similar to those obtained in a solution with the silicon/molybdenum ratio equal to 2.6. The crystal chemistry parameters of the fraction obtained in solution with the ratio Si/Mo = 1:2 have been calculated on the basis of the X-ray diffraction analysis data using the Debye–Shearer equation. It has been demonstrated that the chain cross-section found using the Miller–Boyer method coincides with that calculated geometrically on the basis of literature data on bond lengths and angles.
