This study investigates the formation mechanisms of oligomeric phenyl silanols, focusing on polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) and double-decker silsesquioxane (DDSQ) derivatives. Combining literature reports and crystal structures of solvated derivatives obtained in our laboratory, we show that the solvent choice significantly influences their structures. POSS-based silanols prefer aprotic solvents like THF, preserving dimerization, while double-deckers form stable architectures in protic solvents like isopropanol. This discrepancy arises from different stabilization mechanisms. Our findings enhance our understanding of hydrolytic condensation involving trimethoxyphenylsilane and suggest aprotic solvents for efficient reactions with POSS-based silanols.

In this work, we reported the preparation and chemical analysis of novel polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS)-based porous materials, which were prepared according to Friedel-Crafts chloromethylation by using aluminum chloride as the catalyst and dichloromethane as the solvent. Through controlling the treatment solvent (water or methanol) and kinds of POSS, several materials with different morphologies were conveniently obtained. The chemical structure of porous materials was systematically characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, Si Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), C NMR, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

Preparation of a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane-based perfluorinated monolithic column.

A monolithic column with high affinity to fluorous compounds was prepared using a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) reagent as the cross-linker and pentadecafluorooctyl methacrylate (PDFOMA) as the functionality monomer. The pore properties and permeability could be tuned by the composition of the polymerization mixture. The characterization and evaluation results revealed that the obtained POSS-PDFOMA hybrid monolith owned the merits of POSS and PDFOMA with good mechanical stability, no residual silanol and high affinity to fluorous compounds.
