Abstract;The molecular structure and packing of poly(methyl ethyl silane), [(CH3)Si(C2H5)]n, and poly(methyl n-propyl silane), [(CH3)Si(C3H7)]n, have been examined by the X-ray diffraction method. For poly(methyl ethyl silane), several configurations are possible for the arrangement of the C2H5 group, whereas the C3H7 groups stretch along one equivalent direction for poly(methyl n-propyl silane). In both cases, the molecular structure and packing are mostly determined by the intramolecular steric hindrance and van der Waals interaction between side chains, which is the same as that of polysilanes with symmetric side chains.
