Molecular composites from hydrido and vinyl functionalized silsequioxanes
- Univ. of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI (United States)
Hydrido and vinyl functionalized silsesquioxanes [RSiO{sub 1.5}]{sub 8} (R=H, 1; R=vinyl, 2; R=OSi(CH{sub 3}){sub 2}H, 3; R=OSi(CH{sub 3}){sub 2}-vinyl, 4.) can be synthesized through rather simple processes from fairly inexpensive starting materials. The rigid caged silsesquioxane (cube) structures are very similar to those found in zeolites and may lead to highly porous materials with high surface areas. In this study, the hydrido and vinyl silsesquioxanes 1-4 were cross-coupled via {open_quote}Pt{close_quote} catalyzed hydrosilylation. The resultant polymeric materials showed good thermal stability and high surface area as found by TGA and porosimetry studies. DSC and FTIR studies indicate that on beating, further curing of the residual reactive functional groups occurs. These high surface area materials may have potential applications as insulating and low dielectric materials.
