Abstract
The batch synthesis of acetylacetone endβcapped polydimethylsiloxane is described. Efforts to endβlink the telechelic polymer with several simple metal salts yielded poorly gelled systems, except for the cases where FeCl~3~ and CrCl~3~ Β· 3THF were used. With these salts, low but nonetheless appreciable, gel fractions of 45 and 40%, respectively, were obtained. The difficulty experienced in obtaining high gel fractions is traced to incomplete ligand exchange reactions in low polarity media.

The reaction rates of Cr(III) oligomers with partially hydrolyzed (PAAm) polyacrylamide were measured. The oligomers were prepared in relatively pure form using liquid chromatography, allowed to react with polymer, quenched, and then separated using equilibrium dialysis. In the pH range of 4-5, Cr(I
