A simple synthesis of poly(methylsilyne) has been developed. The straightforward polymerization reaction can be accomplished using simply a series of batteries and a very simple electrolyte. Poly(methylsilyne) has previously been shown to be a high‐purity, high‐yield precursor to stoichometric silicon carbide. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2009
