12. The addition of a Si-H bond to a C=C group has been explored intensively as a route to alkylsilanes, and the reaction is used in the manufacture of silicone polymers. It is known that there is a strong steric effect that the silicon almost always attaches to the less-crowded end to C=C bond. The fact that no byproduct is formed makes this type of reaction particularly advantageous for the film growth.

Poly(methyIhydrosiloxane) (1) (Mw = 1700-3000) was purchased from Aldrich and used without further purification. 2 and 3 were prepared according to the literature: Schurig, V.; Schmaizing, D.; Muhleck, U.; Jung, M.; Schleimer, M.; Mussche, P.; Duvekot, C.; Buyten, J.
