Linear and branched alkyl substituted octakis(dimethylsiloxy)octasilsesquioxanes: WAXS and thermal properties
چکیده انگلیسی

A series of octakis(dimethylsiloxy)octasilsesquioxanes bearing linear and branched alkyl substituents has been prepared in high yield by Pt-catalyzed hydrosilylation of alkenes with octakis(hydrodimethylsiloxy)octasilsesquioxane, chain length varying between C3 and C8 for the straight-chain derivatives and between C5 and C7 for the branched-chain derivatives. On the basis of a WAXS study, we showed that the linear derivatives are amorphous and that the interdigitation of alkyl chains between neighboring POSS molecules increases as the alkyl chain length increases from propyl to octyl. The thermal behavior of these compounds was studied by DSC, polarized optical microscopy and TGA in nitrogen and air atmosphere. The derivatives with shorter n-alkyl chains from C3 to C6 crystallize below 0 °C whereas the derivatives with longer n-alkyl chains (C7 and C8) can be regarded as amorphous glasses with a Tg around –100 °C. The morphology and thermal properties change considerably with branching of the alkyl chain. Melting points above ambient temperature were found for the iso-hexyl and iso-heptyl POSS derivatives whereas the iso-pentyl POSS derivative is liquid at 25 °C. From the values of the heat of fusion as well as entropy of fusion, it was concluded that packing of the side groups in the crystal structure increases as the size of the branched alkyl group increases. TGA evidenced a negative effect of the branching of the alkyl chain on the thermal stability in air.
