A series of functionalised cubic monovinylheptaisobutylsilsesquioxanes and octavinylsilsesquioxanes were obtained via efficient and highly stereoselective cross-metathesis and silylative coupling with substituted styrenes.
Graphical abstractA series of functionalised cubic monovinylheptaisobutylsilsesquioxane and octavinylsilsesquioxane were obtained via efficient and highly stereoselective cross-metathesis and silylative coupling with substituted styrenes.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slideResearch highlights► π-Conjugated substituent(s) can be efficiently introduced to vinylsilsesquioxane core. ► Cross-metathesis permits functionalisation of cubic vinylsilsesquioxanes. ► Cubic vinylsilsesquioxanes undergo silylative coupling with substituted styrenes.
