A boron-siloxane cross linked polymer was formed from the reaction between dichlorodimethylsilane in diethyl ether with deionised water. Which was neutralised with sodium bicarbonate solution before being turned into a polymer upon the addition of boric acid. What is the structure of the polymer synthesised and what is the molecular weight of one monomer unit of this boron-siloxane cross linked polymer if the functional groups present in the molecule are; boron, hydroxyl, methyl and siloxane groups. Please draw.
