1946M. J. Hunter et al. in Jrnl. Amer. Chem. Soc. LXVIII. 361/1 When a few drops of concentrated sulfuric acid are added to a quantity, say 10 c.c., of octamethyl⁓cyclotetrasiloxane, [(CH3)2SiO]4, there is no marked change in appearance or temperature. 1962Barry & Beck in Stone & Graham Inorg. Polymers v. 216 The slow addition of dimethyldichlorosilane to excess water at 15 to 20°C yields a mixture consisting of 0·5% hexamethyl⁓cyclotrisiloxane (D3), 42·0% octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4), 6·7% decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5), [etc.]. 1970Encycl. Polymer Sci. & Technol. XII. 503 Almost all strong inorganic alkalis and most quaternary ammonium hydroxides and phosphonium hydroxides will polymerize octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane to a high-molecular-weight polymer. |
