The synthesis, detailed spectroscopic characterization, polymer-to-ceramic conversion, and high-temperature behavior of a new class of polymeric precursors for Si-B-C-N composites are discus se d. The title compounds [B(C2H4-(SiRR2)-R-1-C2H4-SiHNH)(3)](n) (C2H4 = CHCH3, CH2CH2; 5a: R-1, R-2 = H; 5b: R-1 = H, R-2 = CH3; 5c: R-1, R-2 = CH3) were designed especially for the preparation of ceramic films and fiber-reinforced ceramic composite matrixes. They are obtained in quantitative yields by the reaction of oligovinylsilazane [(H2C=CH)SiH-NH](n) (4) with tris(hydridosilylethyl)boranes of general type B((C2H4SiHRR2)-R-1)(3) (C2H4 = CHCH3, CH2CH2; 3a. R-1, R-2 = H; 3b: R-1 = H, R-2 = CH3; 3c: R-1, R-2 = CH3) in a thermally induced hydrosilylation reaction without catalyst and/or solvent and without the formation of byproducts. Ceramic yields are 83% for 5a, 82% for 5b, and 63% for 5c as shown by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). High-temperature TGA of the as-obtained amorphous ceramic materials, carried out in an argon atmosphere, reveals a thermal stability toward degradation of the Bb-derived material 6b up to 2000 degrees C. In contrast, the 6a material, which was obtained from 5a, decomposes around 1850 degrees C. The least stable is the 6c ceramic, which decomposes at 1450 degrees C. The microstructure development of 6a-6c was investigated in the temperature range of 1400-2000 degrees C by X-ray diffraction (XRD), indicating that preferentially crystalline cr-silicon carbide is formed at 1700 degrees C for 6a, 1500 degrees C for 6b, and 1600 degrees C for 6c. In addition, there are less intensive reflections observed in the XRD patterns of 6a, caused by the formation of beta-silicon nitride.
