First Step: A solution of 4-bromostyrene (6.095 g, 33.30 mmol) in THF (35 ml) was placed in a 50 ml glass two-neck mini reactor which was fitted with a condenser connected with an δ (p.p.m.)): 7.06 (s, 2H, –CH=CH-), 7.42 (d, JHH = 8.80 Hz, 4H, o-C6H4-Br), 7.52 (d, JHH = 8.75 Hz, 4H, m-C6H4-Br). 13C NMR (CDCl3, δ (p.p.m.)): 122.6 (Br—Ci<), 127.3 (-CH=CH–), 129.8 (Br-m-C6H4–), 132.6 (Br-o-C6H4–), 137.1 (>Ci-CH=).

line. The Hoveyda–Grubbs catalyst 1st generation (10 mg, 0.017 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was heated at 316–318 K and left for 5 h. The crude product was precipitated partially from solution. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was cooled to room temperature and the excess of organic solvent was evaporated under high vacuum. The mix of yellowish crystals was recovered by filtration and washed with cold hexane (3 x 10 ml). The residue was recrystallized from ethanol to provide 5.46 g (16.15 mmol, yield 97%) (E)-4,4'-dibromostilbene as a colorless solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3,Second Step: A solution of (E)-4,4'-dibromostilbene (3 g, 8.87 mmol) in THF (15 ml) was added dropwise to a suspension of Mg (0.518 g, 21.30 mmol, whose surface was activated by use of 1,2-dibromomethane (50 µL) and vinyldimethylchlorosilane (2.35 g, 19.51 mmol) in slighly warm THF (15 ml). After the addition was completed, the reaction mixture was heated at 318 K for 4 h. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, water (2 ml) was added, and the whole was filtered. The organic phase was left overnight with magnesium sulfate. The solvent was then evaporated and the residual solid was washed by cold hexane (2 x 15 ml). The isolated compound was recrystallized from ethanol to yield 2.1 g of (I) (6.02 mmol, yield 68%) as a colourless solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3, δ(p.p.m.)): 0.29 (s, 12H, –CH3), 5.82 (dd, 2H, JHH = 3.8, 20.1 Hz, –CH=CH2), 6.11 (dd, 2H, JHH = 3.8, 15.1 Hz, –CH=CH2), 6.34 (dd, 2H, JHH = 14.6, 20.1 Hz, –CH=CH2), 7.11 (s, 2H, –CH=CH-), 7.48 (d, 4H, o-C6H4-Si), 7.54 (d, 4H, m-C6H4-Si). 13C NMR (CDCl3, δ(p.p.m.)): -2.8, 127.3, 129.8, 135.9, 136.3, 137.8, 139.3, 140.1. 29Si NMR (CDCl3, δ(p.p.m.)): -10.60. HRMS (m/z) calcd. for C22H28Si2: 348.17295, found 348.17284. Analysis: found C 75.72, H 8.09%. C22H28Si2 requires: C 75.79, H 8.1%.
Hydrogen atoms were found in difference Fourier maps and freely refined so that the range of C= H = 0.88 (3) to 1.09 (4) Å.
The synthesis of {(E)-1,2-bis(4-(dimethyl(vinyl)silyl)phenyl)}ethene, (I), consisted of two steps. During first step, the well know metathesis reaction of 4-bromostyrene was applied to obtain {(E)-1,2-bis(4-bromophenyl)}ethene which was used as a substrate for the second step, the typical reaction between an aryl-halide derivative of an olefin, a Grignard reagent generated in situ and vinylchlorosilane. This kind of vinylsilane-stilbene can be used as a very efficient monomer for the synthesis of arylene-silylene-vinylene polymers, polycarbosilanes or co-polymers with suitable aromatic olefin via silylative coupling
(SCP) or polyhydrosilylation reactions (Majchrzak et al., 2005, 2007; Maciejewski et al., 2003).The molecule of (I) is centrosymmetric with the mid-point of the central C41?C41A bond lying on a centre of symmetry (Fig. 1). The phenyl rings (planar within 0.0046 (14) Å) are, from symmetry, co-planar. As the C41 and Si1 atoms are almost co-planar with these rings (deviation from the least-squares plane = 0.009 (3)Å and 0.054 (3) Å, respectively), the whole diphenylethene fragment is planar. The C(ar)—Si—C3 group is rotated by ca 30° with respect to to the plane of the phenyl ring, as can be seen from the values of C2—C1—Si—C(X) torsion angles: 28.5 (2)° for X = 13, -92.5 (2)° for X = 12, and 148.0 (2)° for X = 11. The π contacts as well as van der Waals interactions.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The synthesis of {(E)-1,2-bis(4-(dimethyl(vinyl)silyl)phenyl)}ethene, (I), consisted of two steps. During first step, the well know metathesis reaction of 4-bromostyrene was applied to obtain {(E)-1,2-bis(4-bromophenyl)}ethene which was used as a substrate for the second step, the typical reaction between an aryl-halide derivative of an olefin, a Grignard reagent generated in situ and vinylchlorosilane. This kind of vinylsilane-stilbene can be used as a very efficient monomer for the synthesis of arylene-silylene-vinylene polymers, polycarbosilanes or co-polymers with suitable aromatic olefin via silylative coupling polycondensation (SCP) or polyhydrosilylation reactions (Majchrzak et al., 2005, 2007; Maciejewski et al., 2003).
The molecule of (I) is centrosymmetric with the mid-point of the central C41?C41A bond lying on a centre of symmetry (Fig. 1). The phenyl rings (planar within 0.0046 (14) Å) are, from symmetry, co-planar. As the C41 and Si1 atoms are almost co-planar with these rings (deviation from the least-squares plane = 0.009 (3)Å and 0.054 (3) Å, respectively), the whole diphenylethene fragment is planar. The C(ar)—Si—C3 group is rotated by ca 30° with respect to to the plane of the phenyl ring, as can be seen from the values of C2—C1—Si—C(X) torsion angles: 28.5 (2)° for X = 13, -92.5 (2)° for X = 12, and 148.0 (2)° for X = 11. The crystal structure is stabilized by some relatively directional C—H···π contacts as well as van der Waals interactions.
