Journal ArticleDOI
Highly Porous Polyhedral Silsesquioxane Polymers. Synthesis and Characterization
Chunxin Zhang,Florence Babonneau,Christian Bonhomme,Richard M. Laine,Christopher L. Soles,H. A. Hristov,Albert F. Yee +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, polyhedral octahydridosilsesquioxanes were copolymerized with stoichiometric amounts of octavinylsilssioxanes, [vinylSiO1.5]8 (2) and [(vinylMe2O)SiO 1.5]-8 (3) in toluene using platinum divinyltetramethyldisiloxane, “Pt(dvs)”, as catalyst.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polyfunctional cubic silsesquioxanes as building blocks for organic/inorganic hybrids
TL;DR: In this article, cubic silsesquioxanes have been used as model materials for inorganic/organic hybrid materials, where the exact shape, size and mechanical properties of the inorganic component are perfectly defined by tailoring the organic functionality bound to silicon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silsesquioxanes as synthetic platforms. II. Epoxy-functionalized inorganic-organic hybrid species
Chunxin Zhang,Richard M. Laine +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Vinyl cubic polyhedral silsesquioxanes (vinylSiO1.5)8 and [(vinylMe2SiO)SiO 1.5]8) were epoxidized using ten equivalents of m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA) per cube.
Journal ArticleDOI
Octa(3‐chloroammoniumpropyl) octasilsesquioxane
TL;DR: The octahydrochloride salt of octa(3-aminopropyl)octasilsesquioxane can be isolated in 30% yields by controlled hydrolytic condensation of 3aminopropyltriethoxysilane in strongly acidic methanol as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and Characterization of Liquid Crystalline Silsesquioxanes
TL;DR: In this article, mesogenic groups were added to cubic silsesquioxane cores (LC cubes) via hydrosilylation of allyloxy functionalized mesogens (4, 5, 8, and 9) with octakis(dimethylsiloxy) octasilsesquioxanes (Q8M8H).
