The present invention relates to an anthracene derivative compound having a characteristic structure in which an aliphatic aromatic mixed ring group is substituted, and to an organic light-emitting device comprising same. The present invention relates to a high-efficiency and long-lifespan organic light-emitting device having remarkably improved luminous efficiency and lifespan characteristics by adopting the anthracene derivative compound according to the present invention as a host of a light-emitting layer, and adopting a polycyclic compound having a characteristic structure as a dopant of the light-emitting layer.

A method for producing a polysilane includes a disproportionation reaction of a methylchlorodisilane mixture to form chlorine-containing oligosilane, a substitution reaction of the chlorine atoms contained in the oligosilane by the reaction with a primary amine and a cross-linking reaction of the oligosilanes using a chain former to form polysilanes. The obtained polysilanes are infusible and are very suitable for being spun to form green fibers and processed to form silicon carbide fibers and fiber composites. The method is characterized in that it can be carried out cost-effectively and quickly and with very high yields.

A subject matter of the present invention is the use as catalyst, in particular in hydrosilylation, of a metal complex including at least one metal atom chosen from the metals of Groups 8, 9 and 10 of the Periodic Table of the Elements and one or more ligands, characterized in that at least one ligand includes a silene structure.
