Major Advances in the Synthesis of POSS Monomers

  • Published:
MRS Online Proceedings Library Aims and scope

Abstract

Several new methods have been developed for the synthesis of POSS monomers from fully condensed [RSiO3/2]n and [ROSiO3/2]n (n = 6 or 8) frameworks. These methods, which all rely on highly selective base-catalyzed reactions of Si/O frameworks, provide unprecedented access to new POSS monomers and the means for manufacturing useful POSS monomers on a large scale from readily available silane monomers.
