Description
~X~8~30 PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF POLYSILANES
The invention relates to a process for the prepara-tion of polysilanes.
Polysilanes hàve been known for a long tlme and include different types of materials. Examples of known polysilanes are linear perme~hylated polysilanes, cyclic permethylated polysilanes, branched polysilanes and cage permethyl polysilanes. Polysilanes with substituents other than methyl, for example phenyl and isobutyl groups, are also known, as are polysilanes having a mixture of methyl and other substituents, for example hydrogen, halogen or phenyl substituen~s. Also known are polysi-lanes where only hydrogen atoms are found on the silicon atoms. The size o the polysilane molecules can vary widely from the disilane to polysilanes having a large number of silicon atoms attached to each other. Linear polysilanes have usually less than 10 silicon atoms in the chain, whilst cyclic and polycyclic polysilanes often have a larger number of silicon atoms.
Polysilanes can be prepared by several routes. One of the earliest published methods was that described in U.S. Patent Specification 2 380 995 in ~he name of Rochow, in which disilanes were produced by contacting silicon metal with an alkylhalide under specified conditions. The most common route for the production o~ cyclopolysilanes involves the reductive condensation of a dialkyldihalo-silane with an alkali metal. This route has been described in, for example, U.S. Patent 4,052,43p. If an alkyl-trihalosilane is included in the reaction mixture as described above co-condensation of these silanes can form cage polysilanes under certain conditions. Another route for making polysilanes starts from low molecular weight .
`'`:
~8~3 polysilane molecules which are reacted under anhydrous conditions with a Grignard reagent, as described for example in G.B. specification 2 081 290.
One of the more imp~rtant uses of polysilanes ls as precursors for siiicon carbide. The polysilanes which are most preferred in ~his application are those which have a ratio of carbon atoms to silicon atoms which is as close as possible to 1. Hence the preparation of cage polysilanes and branched polysilanes for this purpose.
G.B. specification 2 081 290 describes polysilanes having the average iormula [(CH3)2Si][CH3Si] in which polysilane there are irom O to 60 mole percent (CH3)2Si= units and 40 to lOO mole percent CH3Si- units, wherein there is also bonded to the silicon atom other silicon atoms and addi-tional alkyl radicals of 1 to 4 carbon atoms or phenyl radicals. These are prepared by reacting polysilanes present in the direct process residue obtained during the production of chlorosilanes, with an alkyl or aryl Grignard reagent. However, the direct process residue is not pure or well defined. Making polysilanes according to the me~hod described in G.s. Specification 2 081 290 involves an extra step of purifying the direct process re~idue.
Patent Speciiication G.B. 2 077 710 discloses and claims a method for synthesising an unsubstituted poly-silane having an approximate composition of -(SiHn)-x where x is large and n is from 1 to 2 comprising reacting SiHmX4_m, where X is fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine and m ~ 1, 2 or 3, with lithium in a suspension of liquid in~rt to the reagents and the product and in which the polysllane is insoluble. When thi~ reaction was repeated according to the example given ln Britlsh Specification No. 2 077 710, an oxygenated silicone product was ob~ained rather than a polysilane of the general formula -(SiH)X-.
-`~ 12980s3~
According to the present invention there is provided a process for the preparation of polysilanes of the general formula (RSi)n wherein each R is independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl, aryl~ alkaryl and aralkyl groups having ~rom 1 to 18 carbon atoms and _ is at least 8, which comprises the step of reacting at least one silane o~ the general formula RSiX3 wherein R is as defined above and X denotes a halogen atom with an alkali metal in an organic liquid medium in which the silane is soluble.
The invention provides in another aspect a polysi-lane of the general formula (RSi)n wherein R and _ are as defined above when prepared by the process described above.
In the process of the invention at least one tri-halosilane is reacted with an alkali metal in an organic liquid medium. The trihalosilanes which can be used in the process have the general formula RSiX3 wherein R is an alkyl, aryl, alkaryl or aralkyl group having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms and X is a halogen atom, preferably Cl.
Examples of the group R are methyl, ethyl, isobutyl, phenyl, tolyl and phenylethyl. These silanes are well known in the art and a number of them are commercially available. They may be made e.g. by direct synthesis using silicon metal and methylchloride, by the Grignard synthesis or by the addition of unsaturated alkenes or aromatic compounds to silanes having a silicon-bonded hydrogen atom. Such processes are well known and have been described in e.g. Chemistry and Technology of Silicones by W. Noll.
~2~ L30 Examples of the trihalosilanes which may be used in the process of the invention are methyltrichlorosilane, phenyl~richlorosilane, butyltrichlorosilane and dodecyl-trichlorosilane. Preferably R is the same for each silane used in the process.
The alkali metal which may be used in the process of the invention can be e.g. Na, K and Li. Li is the pref-erred metal as it gives the highest yield of polysilanes.
The amount of alkali metal used in the reaction is at least three mole per moles of the silane utilised. In order to ensur~ the completion of the reaction it is preferred ~o add an amount slightly in excess of 3 moles of the alkali metal per mole of the silane.
The organic liquid medium in which the reaction takes place may be any solvent in w~ich the trihalosilane reactant is soluble. Preferably the solvent used is one in which the polysilane which is produced in the process is also soluble. These solvents include hydrocarbon 801vent8 such ~8 ~oluelle or para~fins, e~her~ and nitrogen containing solvents for example ethylenediamine, triethyl-amine and N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine. Prefer-ably tetrahydrofuran is used as the organic liquid medium.
The organic liquid medium is not generally a solvent for the alkali metal halides which are formed and these can be easily removed by filtration. The amount of organic liquid medium used in the process of the invention is not critical, although the use of progressively larger amounts can result in polysilanes of progressively lower molecular weight.
The process may be carried out at any ~e~perature but preferably the reaction temperature is maintained below 50C. The reaction which occurs is exotherMic and is preferably initiated at room temperature, no external '.~
~ ~29~430 heat being supplied during the reaction. If the tempera-ture is increased an increase in ~he molecular weigh~ of the formed polysilanes is usually observed. This may lead to the production of polysilanes which are insolu~le in S the organic liquid medium.
When the reaction has proceeded to ~he desired degree the polysilane may be recovered from the reaction mixture by any suitable method. If the polysilane is insoluble in the liquid organic material in which the reaction took place it can be filtered out from the mixture. This is preferably done when other insolubles such as the alkali metal halides which are formed as a side product have been removed, for example by scooping or decanting. Depending on the components of the reaction lS the solid byproduct may float towards the surface o~ the mixture whilst the polysilane tends to precipitate. If the polysilane is soluble in the solvent other insolubles can be removed by filtration and the polysilane can be retained in the solvent, purified by washing or dried to a powder.
Polysilanes produced by the process of the invention are solid materials having a three dimensional structure wherein each silicon atom is linked to at least one other silicon atom and possibly to an R group. The exact struc-ture of the polysilane has not been defined but isbelieved to include such structures as dodecahedron and open cage structures. In these polysilanes (RSi)n R may be an alkyl, aryl, alkaryl or aralkyl group having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms. Preferably R is Cl_6 alkyl or a phenyl group. The value of _ in the general formula (RSi)n is at least 8. There is, strictly speaking, no maximum value for _ bu~ if the value is very high the polysilanes tend to become insoluble in the organic liquid 98~3~
medium. Preferably n has a value of from 8 to about 100 depending on the nature of R. When R denotes for example a phenyl group, the value of _ is preferably from 8 to about 30 as these phenylpolysilanes are soluble in the organic liquid medium. Polysllanes obtained by the process of the invention which are soluble in hydrocarbon, ether or nitrogen containing solvents can be shaped more easily before they are formed into silicon-carbide materials and are, therefore, the most preferred.
The following examples in which parts and percent-ages are expressed by weight, Me denotes a methyl group, t-Bu denotes a tertiary butyl group and Ph denotes a phenyl group, illustrate the invention.
Example 1 To a suspension of Li (2.8g, 0.4 mole) in lOOml of tetrahydrofuran (Thf) a solution of PhSiC13 (27.6g, 0.13 mole) in lOOml of Thf was slowly added. The mixture warmed up as the exothermic reaction took place and became dark brown. When all of the solution had been added the mixture was stirred for a further 3 hours at ambient temp-erature. The excess Li and LiCl which was formed were filtered off and the iltrate was poured into ~OOml of methanol. A precipitate formed and was filtered off, washed with water and methanol and dried under vacuum.
The reaction yielded 10.58g of a solid polysilane material. Analysis of this material showed 67.35% C and 4.71% H. The molecular weight was determined by ~PC as 2276. Infrared and NMR analysis showed the presence of Ph and Si-Ph and Si-Si bonds.
Example 2 To a suspension of Li (5.11g, 0.73 mole) in lOOml of tetrahydrofuran (Thf) a solution of MeSiC13 (30g, 0.20 mole) in 100 ml of Thf was slowly added. The mixture ~298~3~) warmed up as the e~othermic reaction took place bringing the Thf to boil. The rest of the solution was added at a rate sufficient to maintain the reaction mixture at reflux. Then the mixture was stirred for a further 2 hours at ambient temperature. One litre of methanol was added to destroy the excess of Li. The solids were filtered off, washed with water and methanol and dried under vacuum. The reaction yielded 8.6g of a solid poly-silane material which was insoluble in Thf. Analysis of this material showed 26.51% C and 6.12% H.
Example 3 To a suspension of Li (2.13g9 0.3 mole) in 100ml of N,N,N',N'-tetramethylenediamine (TMEDA) and cooled to -10C, a solution of MeSiC13 (14.2g, 0.0~5 mole) in 50ml of TMEDA was slowly added. The mixture was kept at 10C
by external cooling during the addition. When all of the solution had been added the mixture was stirred for a further 5 hours at -10C followed by 3 hours at ambient temperature. The excess Li and the LiCl which was formed, were filtered off and the filtrate was poured in 1000ml of methanol. A precipitate formed and this was filtered off, washed with water and methanol and dried under vacuum. The reaction yielded 3.21g of a solid polysilane material. Analysis of this material showed 27.02% C and 6~25% H. The molecular weight was determined by GPC as 1548 Infrared and NMR analysis showed the presence o~ Me and Si-Me and Si-Si bonds.
Example 4 To a suspension of Li (2.25g, 0.32 mole) in 100ml of tetrahydrofuran (Thf) a solution of t-BuSiCl3 (18.62g, 0.097 mole) in 100ml of Thf was slowly added. The mixture warmed up as the exothermic reaction took place and became dark brown. When all of the solution had been added the ~ ~L2~1~43~31 mixture was stirred for a further 6 hours at ambient temperature. The excess Li and the LiCl which was formed were filtered off and the filtrate was poured into lOOOml of methanol. A precipitate formed and this was filtered off, washed with water and methanol and dried under vacuum. The reaction yield 6.86g of a solid polysilane material. Analysis of this material showed 54.95% C and 9.83~ H. The molecular weight was determined by GPC as 5854. Infrared and NMR analysis showed the presence o~
t-Bu and Si-C bonds.
