Catalytic Disproportionation of Chlorosilanes Using Imidazolium Ionic Liquids Supported on Polymer Supports

Highly selective catalytic systems are developed on the basis of porous polymer supports with immobilized ionic liquids containing various anions and acceptor and donor substituents. Their effect on the activity of the catalysts in the disproportionation of trichlorosilane is studied. It is shown that the catalytic activity of systems based on N-methoxy-4-methylimidazole with different counterions falls as the chemical activity of anions rises from iodine to fluorine.
