Abstract

Novel family of molecular glasses based on silicon-containing compounds, α, ω- dimethyloligo (diphenylsilylene) s are synthesized and characterized. Glass-forming properties of these materials tended to have even-odd effect of chain length. The morphology of glassy samples was found to be mainly amorphous with only two- dimensional order of hexagonal packing.
