Dichlorosilanes with ethyloligoglycoxypropyl substituents were synthesized from dichlorosilane and the respective allyl compounds. Wurtz‐type coupling reaction led to a series of ether substituted polysilylenes with a distinct amphiphilic character. Formation of high molecular weight polymers becomes increasingly difficult as the length of the ether substituents is increased.
