Novel functional poly(organosiloxane) resin compositions, methods of producing novel poly(organosiloxane)
coating compositions, and coated substrates having improved properties suitable for, e.g., optical applications for achieving predetermined properties of
refractive index, absorption coefficient and other properties. Specific embodiments comprise
silicon precursors having a
substituent that contains a fused aromatic structure exhibiting a butterfly shape, wherein the half-planes defined by aromatic rings joined by intermediate N and S atoms exhibit a
dihedral angle of <165 #, whereas the C—S—C angle of the folded
thiazine, in particular 1,4-
thiazine, ring is less than 110 #. In on embodiment, the
silicon precursor has a
substituent that comprises an optionally substituted
thiazine ring.
