N2 - Multifunctional siloxane copolymers with terminal vinyl or allyl functional groups are synthesised through
the borane-catalysed polycondensation of hydrosilanes and alkoxysilanes. Copolymers of varying mole-
cular weights (

), spatially well-distributed functional groups and high end-

fi
delity are obtained in a facile and robust synthetic scheme involving polycondensation, end-group
transformation and di
ff
erent functionalisation reactions such as Cu(
I
)-mediated azide
–
alkyne cycloaddition.
Pendant alkyl chloride, alkyl azide, bromoisobutyryl, 4-nitrobenzene and 1-ethyl-imidazolium chloride
fragments with programmable spatial distributions are incorporated in the copolymer backbones. NMR
and FTIR spectroscopy as well as size exclusion chromatography corroborate the efficacy and versatility
of this modular approach.
