Siloxane formation reactions of both the nonhydrolytic sol-gel process and Piers-Rubinsztajn reaction can be integrated as Lewis acid promoted siloxane syntheses without involving silanol groups. The former was developed in the field of inorganic materials chemistry and the latter was initiated in polymer chemistry. We have realized both reactions are quite similar, in terms of 1) the nonhydrolytic reaction, 2) the use of alkoxysilanes, 3) the group-exchange reactions competing with the siloxane formation, and 4) the proposed reaction mechanisms. This Minireview focuses on the above two reactions. The evolution of both reactions should realize a more sophisticated molecular design of siloxane compounds, which surely contributes to the development of advanced functional materials.

The use of heterogeneous catalysts to increase the development of green chemistry is a rapidly growing area of research to save industry money. In this paper, mesoporous SiO-AlO mixed oxide supports with various Si/Al ratios were prepared using two different sol-gel routes: hydrolytic sol-gel (HSG) and non-hydrolytic sol-gel (NHSG). The HSG route was investigated in both acidic and basic media, while the NHSG was explored in the presence of ethanol and diisopropyl ether as oxygen donors.

Porous aluminosilicates are functional materials of paramount importance as Lewis acid catalysts in the synthetic industry, yet the participating aluminum species remain poorly studied. Herein, a series of model aluminosilicate networks containing [L-AlO] (L = THF, EtN, pyridine, triethylphosphine oxide (TEPO)) and [AlO] centers were prepared through nonhydrolytic sol-gel condensation reactions of the spherosilicate building block (MeSn)SiO with L-AlX (X = Cl, Me, Et) and [MeN] [AlCl] compounds in THF or toluene. The substoichiometric dosage of the Al precursors ensured complete condensation and uniform incorporation, with the bulky spherosilicate forcing a separation between neighboring aluminum centers.

Condensation reactions of chlorosilanes (SiCl and CHSiCl) and bis(trimethylsilyl)ethers of rigid, quasi-linear diols (CH)SiO--OSi(CH) ( = 4,4'-biphenylene () and 2,6-naphthylene ()), with release of (CH)SiCl as a volatile byproduct, afforded novel hybrid materials that feature Si-O-C bridges. The precursors and were characterized using FTIR and multinuclear (H, C, Si) NMR spectroscopy as well as single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis in case of . Pyridine-catalyzed and non-catalyzed transformations were performed in THF at room temperature and at 60 °C.

Lead halide perovskite (LHP) nanocrystals (NCs) have gathered much attention as light-emitting materials, particularly owing to their excellent color purity, band gap tunability, high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), low cost, and scalable synthesis. To enhance the stability of LHP NCs, bulky strongly bound organic ligands are commonly employed, which counteract the extraction of charge carriers from the NCs and hinder their use as photoconductive materials and photocatalysts. Replacing these ligands with a thin coating is a complex challenge due to the highly dynamic ionic lattice, which is vulnerable to the commonly employed coating precursors and solvents.

The key to developing high-performance polymer electrolytes (PEs) is to achieve their high strength and high ionic conductivity, but this is still challenging. Herein, we designed a new double-network PE based on the nonhydrolytic sol-gel reaction of tetraethyl orthosilicate and in situ polymerization of zwitterions. The as-prepared PE possesses high strength (0.
