Abstract
A new type of grafted polysiloxane polymer is described in which an aryldiamine
substituent, [CsH3(CHzNMe2)2-2,61-, provides a pendant terdentate ligand environment for
a catalytically active (0rgano)nickel center. The novel strategy employed involves initial
grafting of the aryl bromide 5-amino-2-bromo-1,3-bis[(dimethylamino)methyllbenzeinnet o
the side chain of poly((2-(chlorocarbonyl)ethyl)methylsiloxane~f ollowed by nickel incorporation
through an oxidative addition reaction with
