1,3-Dimethyl-tetrakis(2-triphenylsilylethyl)dimethyldisiloxane: a new carbosilane for the preparation of high-refractive-index films

Abstract

A new carbosilane has been synthesised in one step by hydrosilylation of 1,3-dimethyl-tetravinyldisiloxane with triphenyl silane. The new carbosilane has been characterized by 1D and 2D NMR, MS, and Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC). The new carbosilane has been spin-coated on silicon wafers to prepare a film with very high refractive index (μ = 1.520) and excellent hydrophobicity. The film has also been analysed by Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Spectroscopy (DRIFT). The preparation of the new carbosilane does not generate waste, and its application can be easily scaled-up. Consequently, the new precursor is likely to be very useful for industrial optoelectronic applications.
