A variety of poly(arylmethylgermanes) have been synthesized from aryldimethylgermanes in high yield via mild catalytic demethanative coupling using tetrakis(trimethylphosphine)dimethylruthenium as a convenient catalyst precursor. Polymerizations of germanes Me2GeArH (Ar = phenyl, p-tolyl, p-fluoro, p-trifluorotolyl, p-anisyl, and m-xylyl) proceed in neat monomer at room temperature. Catalyst removal can be effected by treatment of the reaction mixture with air, which gives polymer yields between 70% and 100%. Alternatively, separation of the catalyst by precipitation of the polymers from THF solution with methanol gives lower yields, but of somewhat higher molecular weight material. The new polygermanes are characterized by 1H NMR and by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) using both polystyrene standards and light scattering methods. Molecular weights calculated by polystyrene analysis fall in the ranges of Mw = 3 × 103 to 7 × 103 and Mn = 2 × 103 to 6 × 103. Values obtained from light scattering are app...
