Abstract
Abstract Organosilicon-metal polymers are prepared by mixing an organosilicon polymer containing a multiplicity of Si-H and/or Si-Si functional groups with a sufficient quantity of a metal carbonyl for the metal carbonyl to be incorporated into the organosilicon polymer. These polymers can be used to prepare ceramics.
