title: Oligomerization of electron-deficient vinyl monomers through an ate-complex mechanism: a new role for b(c(6) f(5) )(3) lewis Acid.
abstract: The Lewis acid B(C(6) F(5) )(3) in combination with hydrosilanes exhibits remarkable activity in the oligomerization of sulfone- and phosphonate-based monomers. This process opens new routes to high-tech silicone-based materials, i.e., thermoplastic elastomers and heat-resistant polysiloxanes.
