Abstract
![]()
Herein, we report
an efficient synthesis and functionalization
of trifunctional open-cage-type silsesquioxanes. The method proposed
has been successfully applied for the synthesis of a library of incompletely
condensed silsesquioxanes with vinyldiorganosilyl functional groups,
which allows further modification. Detailed studies of hydrosilylation
of sterically different open-cage vinylsilsesquioxanes with a wide
spectrum of phenylsilanes catalyzed by platinum and rhodium compounds
are also reported. The influence of the reaction parameters, types
of reagents, and catalysts employed on the efficiency of the process
was examined. Optimization of the process based on the above results
permitted the design of a very attractive method for the synthesis
of multifunctionalized silsesquioxanes with excellent yields and regioselectivity.
Moreover, the results allowed the choice of the most efficient catalyst
whose application led to the selective formation of substituted open-cage
silsesquioxanes. These new compounds have been fully characterized
and studied in terms of their thermal properties.
The first example of a fully specified synthetic protocol
allowing selective modification of trivinyl-substituted open-cage
silsesquioxanes with silanes via platinum-catalyzed hydrosilylation
is presented.
