Moran et al. have also reported the preparation of hyperbranched ferrocenyl. S7-based polymers (Figure 8.1). The construction of ferrocenyl —silicon polymers 40 and 41 was effected by the reaction of dilithioferrocene-TMEDA with the tetrachlorosilane 35 (see Scheme 8.10) and the Pt-mediated hydrosilylation of l,l -divinylferrocene with tetrasilyl-hydride 38. The 3-dimensional motif exhibited by hyperbranched polymers 40 and 41 is analogous to that depicted by the ferrocenyl — silicon network structures 38,43 42 and 43 (Figure 8.2).

In this review, complete coverage of the syntheses and applications of silicon-based dendrimers and hyperbranched polymers will be provided. For organizational purposes, dendrimers and hyperbranched polymers will be reviewed in separate sections, and each section will be further divided according to polymer class. For this review, the various classes will be defined according to the branch backbone substituents as follows ...
