The electroreduction of alkylaryldichlorosilane carried out with Mg cathode and anode in a single compartment cell gave high molecular weight poly(alkylarylsilane) (Mn = 5200-31000, Mw/Mn = 1.4-1.8) in 5-79% yield. The effects of electrode material, monomer concentration, amount of supplied electricity, and ultrasound were investigated. This electroreductive method was also successfully applied to the synthesis of polygermanes, silane-geramane copolymers, and also poly[p-(disilanylene)phenylenes].
