Article Abstract

Catalytic hydrolysis of silanes mediated by chlorodicarbonylrhodium(I) dimer [RhCl(CO)2]2 to produce silanols and dihydrogen efficiently under mild conditions is reported. Second-order kinetics and activation parameters are determined by monitoring the rate of dihydrogen evolution. The mixing of [RhCl(CO)2]2 and HSiCl3 results in rapid formation of a rhodium silane σ complex.

The requirement for the development of advanced technologies is the need to create new functional thermostable soluble polysilsesquioxanes. Combining the potential of organosilicon chemistry and the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds is a promising direction for the formation of novel organosilicon polymer systems with new properties and new possibilities for their practical application. Using the classical method of hydrolysis and polycondensation of previously unknown trifunctional (trimethoxysilylpropyl)glutarimide in the presence or absence of an acid or base catalyst, a universal approach to the formation of new thermostable soluble polysilsesquioxanes with glutarimide side-chain groups is proposed, which forms the basis for the synthesis of polysilsesquioxane polymers with different functionality.

Covalent and defect-free surface-grafted solid lubricating chains that can impart slippery behavior have proven advantageous over lubricant infused and textured anti-wetting surfaces. Herein, the co-hydrolysis and co-condensation of a mixture of organosilanes followed by the epoxy-amine ring opening reaction at the interface results in a highly robust, transparent and solid slippery omniphobic coating (LL-OSC). The presence of the epoxy-terminated organosilane a) acts as a molecular spacer in between the low-surface energy, rigid fluorine terminated silane and b) provides 'reactive' epoxy groups for covalent binding to a pre-functionalized amine surface for potential applicability in droplet transport and manipulation, diagnostics etc.

Amino-functionalized silica has attracted a great deal of interest due to its high surface reactivity and potential for diverse applications across various fields. While the classical co-condensation method is commonly used to synthesize amino-functionalized silica particles, the mechanism of the reaction between (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) and tetraethoxysilane under different conditions remains unclear, leading to unexpected self-nucleation or cross-linking between silica particles and consequently hindering rational control over the extent of functionalization. To address this issue, we systematically explored the co-condensation growth mechanism of amino-functionalized silica particles in the Stöber method by investigating the effects of APTES concentration and water content on the hydrolysis and condensation of silanes.

The self-assembled monolayer (SAM) technique, known for its customizable molecular segments and active end groups, is widely recognized as a powerful tool for regulating the interfacial properties of high-energy-density lithium metal batteries. However, it remains unclear how the degree of long-range order in SAMs affects the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). In this study, we precisely controlled the hydrolysis of silanes to construct monolayers with varying degrees of long-range order and investigated their effects on the SEI nanostructure and lithium anode performance.

Marine fouling on the surface of ships and equipment not only creates problems of enhanced resistance to navigation and increased energy consumption but also leads to unclear vision and inaccurate data collection. Antifouling coatings to resist fouling are effective, but it is difficult to achieve long-lasting fouling protection with a single interface state. Switching the status of the interface by intelligent response is a reasonable way to achieve full-cycle efficient antifouling.
