Novel Oxidation−Reduction Copolymerization of a Germylene with Ethylene or Propylene Sulfide Producing a 1:1:α Periodic Copolymer

Polymers [Ge(N[SiMe 3 ] 2 ) 2 SCH 2 CHRS] n (R= H, Me) have been prepared by oxudation-reduction copolymerization of the germylene Ge(N[SiMe 3 ] 2 ) 2 with ethylene or propylene sulfide
