(Alkoxysilyl)propyl-functionalized polysilanes 2a-c are generated by the free radical-initiated hydrosilation of allylsilanes 1a-c with polyphenylsilane. The latent sol-gel alkoxysilane residues undergo hydrolysis-poly-condensation under acid-catalyzed conditions to form new hybrid organic-inorganic nanocomposites 3a-c, which can be processed as xerogels or aerogels. Spectral and bulk characterization of the new materials will be discussed.
