title: Platinum catalyzed sequential hydroboration of decaborane: a facile approach to poly(alkenyldecaborane) with decaborane in the mainchain.
abstract: Catalytic sequential hydroboration of decaborane for the synthesis of poly(organodecaborane), with decaborane in the mainchain, is reported for the first time. Under a platinum catalytic system, poly(6-hexenyldecaborane) and poly(6-norbornenyldecaborane) are obtained with well-defined structures and a moderate yield. Thermogravimetric analysis demonstrates that the char yields are 73% and 82%, respectively.
