Abstract

To obtain hybrid silsesquioxanes with targeted properties, the attachment of a trialkoxysilyl group (Scheme 1) to an organic molecule with appropriate properties is required. It is usually achieved by direct linkage through an hydrolytically stable Si–C bond or by use of readily available two- or three-carbon linkers. 1–5 We were interested in exploring the use of long hydrocarbon chains, which may play a double role in the material's synthesis: (i) as a linker, to ensure ...
