Such reactions are known to occur at about 2S0°C for monoaminosilanes reacted with a second type of amine [IS]. Amines incorporated in a polysilazane network require higher temperatures for the transamination because of steric hindrance and the necessity to cleave-rebuild simultaneously two Si-N bonds. Transition metal catalysts can reduce the temperature requirements. In early studies [16] of the transition metal-catalyzed polymmzation of silazanes, we observed the catalytic cleavage of Si-N bonds at temperatures below 1S0°C and the ability to metathesize silicon nitrogen bonds. The transamination reactivity occurs at temperatures below that of the carbonization and carbidization of the organic groups.
