The compounds of the present invention can be prepared in analogy to various conventional methods. Some examples for the preparation are indicated below. Method 1: When m is 1 and n is zero, Ri is C r C 18 alkyl, C r C 8 alkoxy or phenyl, Li is Cι-Cι 8 alkyl, C r C 8 alkoxy, phenyl or a group (R 28 ) 3 SiO- and L 2 is C r C 8 alkyl or a group (R 28 ) 3 Si- , or, when L t and R j are C r C 18 alkyl or phenyl, L 2 also is a group L ι ^ , the 1 2 G compounds of formula (I) are preferably be prepared according to scheme 1, by reacting an alkene capable of forming a group -R 2 -G as defined above, with a silane of formula (VI). Scheme 1: (VI) (VII) The hydrosilylation reaction (Speier; J.A.C.S. 79, 974, 1957) is conveniently carried out in the presence of catalytic amounts of Pd, Pt, Rh or their derivatives, preferably complexes of Pt and Rh, in particular H 2 PtCl 6 and the complex PtCl 2 (Ph-CH=CH 2 ) 2 , without solvent or in an inert solvent such as, for example, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, hexane, heptane, cyclohexane, toluene, xylene, at temperatures between e.g. 60°C and 150°C, preferably between 80°C and 130°C. Method 2: By complete or partial hydrolysis of the compounds of formula (VII), containing at least one alkoxy group bound to a silicon atom, it is possible to prepare the corresponding silanol compounds from which, by a condensation reaction, the corresponding compounds of formula (I) with m at least 2 and n ≠ zero is obtained. The hydrolysis and condensation reactions are preferably effected simultaneously employing the condit ons already described in US-A-4946 880 and US- A- 5 219 905. Method 3: When m is at least 2 and n is different from zero, the compounds of formula (I) can be prepared, for examples, by hydrolysis/condensation of mixtures, in the appropriate proportions, of compounds of formula (VII) and of compounds of formula (Vπi) or (DC) (VIII) (IX) in which R 3 and R 4 are as defined above, R 29 is C r C 8 alkoxy and r is 3 or 4, if desired in the presence of suitable amounts of disiloxane [(R 28 ) 3 Si] 2 O as chain terminator, under the conditions stated in Method 2. The compounds of formula (VIII) or (IX) can be prepared, for example, from the corresponding alkenes with a silane of formula (X) or of formula (XI) (X) (XI) with R 3 and R 29 and r as defined above, under the conditions stated in Method 1. Method 4: Compounds of formula (I) with m at least 2 and with n = zero, or different from zero, when Ri and R 3 are identical, can also be prepared, for example, by reacting a compound of formula (XII) (R j = R 3 for n ≠ zero) where R j , R 4 , L 1? L 2 , m and n are as defined above, with appropriate amounts of alkene capable of forming the groups -R 2 -G and R as defined above, as described in Method 1 or as stated in EP-A-343717 and EP-A-388 321. When R, and Li are OH, ONa or OK and L 2 is hydrogen, Na or K, the compounds of formula (I) can be prepared in accordance with the above mentioned method by further acidic or basic hydrolysis of the intermediate of formula (I) where Li and R t are methoxy and - i is methyl. The acidic hydrolysis may be carried out, for example, by using an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid. The basic hydrolysis may be carried out, for example, by using a suitable aqueous basic solution such as sodium hydroxide, when Li and Ri are ONa and L 2 is Na, or potassium hydroxide, when Li and Ri are OK and 1^ is K. As mentioned at the outset, the compounds of formula (I) are very effective for improving the light, heat and oxidation resistance of organic materials, especially synthetic polymers and copolymers, and are particularly suitable for stabilizing polypropylene fibres on account of their great resistance to volatilization. Examples of organic materials that can be stabilized are: 1. Polymers of monoolefins and diolefins, for example polypropylene, polyisobutylene, polybut-1-ene, poly-4-methylpent-l-ene, polyisoprene or polybutadiene, as well as poly¬ mers of cycloolefins, for instance of cyclopentene or norbornene, polyethylene (which optionally can be crosslinked), for example high density polyethylene (HDPE), high den¬ sity and high molecular weight polyethylene (HDPE-HMW), high density and ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (HDPE-UHMW), medium density polyethylene (MDPE), low density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), branched low density polyethylene (BLDPE). Polyolefins, i.e. the polymers of monoolefins exemplified in the preceding paragraph, preferably polyethylene and polypropylene, can be prepared by different, and especially by the following, methods: a) radical polymerisation (normally under high pressure and at elevated temperature). b) catalytic polymerisation using a catalyst that normally contains one or more than one metal of groups IV b, Vb, VIb or VIII of the Periodic Table. These metals usually have one or more than one ligand, typically oxides, halides, alcoholates, esters, ethers, amines, alkyls, alkenyls and/or aryls that may be either π- or σ-coordinated. These metal complexes may be in the free form or fixed on substrates, typically on activated magnesium chloride, titanium(III) chloride, alumina or silicon oxide. These catalysts may be soluble or insoluble in the polymerisation medium. The catalysts can be used by themselves in the polymerisation or further activators may be used, typically metal alkyls, metal hydrides, metal alkyl halides, metal alkyl oxides or metal alkyloxanes, said metals being elements of groups Ia, Ila and/or Hla of the Periodic Table. The activators may be modified conveniently with further ester, ether, amine or silyl ether groups.

For better illustration of the present invention, some examples of preparation and of use of the compounds of formula (I) will be given. The compounds of Examples 1 to 3 relate to a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention. EXAMPLE 1: Preparation of a polysiloxane of the formula 43.3 g (77.8 mmol) of 2-allylamino-4,6-bis[N-(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidyl)butylamino] - 1 ,3 ,5-triazine are dissolved in 60 ml of xylene and 2 mg of PtCl (styrene) 2 are added. The solution is heated to 140°C and, while stirring, a solution of 10 g (3 mmol) of trimethylsilyl terminated polymethylhydrosiloxane (having 53 Si-H units) in 150 ml of xylene is slowly added. The reaction is maintained at 140°C for 3 hours. The temperature is lowered to 70°C and, still with stirring, 21.2 g (87 mmol) of 3-allyl-7,7,9,9-tetramethyl-l,3,8-triaza-spiro[4.5]decane-2,4-dione and a further 2 mg of PtCl 2 (styrene) 2 are added. The mixture is heated at 140°C for 8 hours with stirring and the solvent and the excess reactant are removed by vacuum distillation (140°C/0.1 mbar). A very viscous resinous product is obtained, NMR and IR analysis of which confirms the expected structure. EXAMPLE 2: Preparation of a polysiloxane of the formula Using the procedure analogous to that described in Example 1, 7.3 g (30 mmol) of 3-allyl-7,7,9,9-t£tiamethyl-l,3,8-triazaspiro[4,5]decane-2,4-dione are reacted with 10 g (3 mmol) of trimethylsilyl terminated polymethylhydrosiloxane (having 53 Si-H units) and with 15 g (133.9 mmol) of 1-octene in the presence of 4 mg of PtCl 2 (styrene) 2 in xylene. After removing the solvent and the excess of 1-octene by vacuum distillation (140°C/1 mbar), a viscous oil product is obtained, NMR and IR analysis of which confirms the indicated structure. EXAMPLE 3: Preparation of a polysiloxane of the formula Using the procedure analogous to that described in Example 1, 41,7 g (129 mmol) of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidyl ester of 10-undecenoic acid are reacted with 10 g (3 mmol) of trimethylsilyl terminated polymethylhydrosiloxane (having 53 Si-H units) and with 8.7 g (36 mmol) of 3-allyl-7,7,9,9-tetramethyl-l,3,8-triazaspiro[4,5]decane-2,4-dione in the presence of 6 mg of PtCl 2 (styrene) 2 in xylene. After washing with an aqueous solution of 0.2 N HC1, with an aqueous solution of 5% NaOH (% w/v) and with water, the organic phase is dried under Na 2 SO 4 , filtered and evaporated under vacuum (80°C/1 mbar). A very viscous resinous product is obtained, NMR and IR analysis of which confirms the expected structure. EXAMPLE 4: Light-stabilizing action in polypropylene fibres. 2.5 g of the product shown in Table 1, 1 g of tris(2,4-di-t-butylphenyl) phosphite, 0.5 g of calcium monoethyl 3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxybenzylphosphonate, 1 g of calcium stearate and 2.5 g of titanium dioxide are mixed in a slow mixer with 1000 g of polypropylene powder having a melt index = 12 g/10 min (measured at 230°C and 2.16 kg). The mixtures are extruded at 200-230° to obtain polymer granules which are then converted into fibres using a pilot-type apparatus (®Leonard-Sumirago (VA) Italy) and operating under the following conditions: extruder temperature: 230-245°C head temperature: 255-260°C draw ratio: 1:3.5 linear density: 11 dtex per filament The fibres prepared in this way are exposed, after mounting on white cardboard, in a 65WR Weather-O-Meter (ASTM D2565-85) with a black-panel temperature of 63°C. For samples taken after various times of exposure to the light, the residual tenacity is measured using a constant-speed tensometer, and the exposure time in hours needed to halve the initial tenacity (T 50 ) is then calculated. For purposes of comparison, fibres prepared under the same conditions as stated above, but without adding the stabilizers of the present invention, are also exposed. The results are shown in Table 1.
