Abstract
The well-defined arrangement of siloxane bonds in double-stranded linear polysilsesquioxanes (LPSQ) increases macromolecular rigidity and ensures the regular distribution of functional substituents along the polymer chain. These characteristics of hybrid LPSQ are their most valuable features, contributing to their unique properties and thermochemical stability.
This review summarizes synthetic methods for preparing linear polysilsesquioxanes through the preorganization of monomeric units via supramolecular interactions or the use of specific monomers, with particular emphasis on the synthesis and functionalization of poly(vinylsilsesquioxanes) (LPSQ-Vi). The properties of polymers derived from LPSQ-Vi reflect their unique structural features, making them versatile precursors for new hybrid materials in surface engineering, polymer composite modification, and optoelectronics.
期刊介绍:
Inorganica Chimica Acta is an established international forum for all aspects of advanced Inorganic Chemistry. Original papers of high scientific level and interest are published in the form of Articles and Reviews.
Topics covered include:
• chemistry of the main group elements and the d- and f-block metals, including the synthesis, characterization and reactivity of coordination, organometallic, biomimetic, supramolecular coordination compounds, including associated computational studies;
• synthesis, physico-chemical properties, applications of molecule-based nano-scaled clusters and nanomaterials designed using the principles of coordination chemistry, as well as coordination polymers (CPs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), metal-organic polyhedra (MPOs);
• reaction mechanisms and physico-chemical investigations computational studies of metalloenzymes and their models;
• applications of inorganic compounds, metallodrugs and molecule-based materials.
Papers composed primarily of structural reports will typically not be considered for publication.
