DESCRIPTION:Conjugated Polymers Inspired by Crystalline Silicon\n\n \n\nDai
 ly life depends on the ubiquitous semiconductor silicon: computers\, solar
  cells\, and many more. Yet silicon synthesis relies on top-down\, high-te
 mperature approaches that yield only the most thermodynamically stable for
 ms of silicon. Uncovering new structure-function space demands a different
  synthetic vision. This talk will describe the synthesis of molecular and 
 polymeric silanes inspired by the complexity\, selectivity\, and elegance 
 of target-oriented organic synthesis. Topics include the chemoselective po
 lymerization of novel bifunctional silane monomers\, selective preparation
  of linear and cyclic polycyclosilanes\, and the stereocontrolled synthesi
 s of cis- and trans-siladecalin. Approaches to the structural characteriza
 tion of novel silane architectures will also be discussed.
