SYNTHESIS AND MESOMORPHIC PROPERTIES OF FISHBONE-LIKE LIQUID CRYSTALLINE POLYSILSESQUIOXANES——Ⅰ. FISHBONE-LIKE, β-DIKETONE-BASED LIQUID CRYSTALLINE POLYSILSESQUIOXANES AND THEIR COPPER COMPLEXES*

Two kinds of fishbone-like, β-diketone-based liquid crystalline polysilsesquioxanes(FBDKLCP'S), homopolymeric (H-FBDKLCP) and copolymeric (C-FBDKaLCP) have been first synthesized via the hydrosilylation reaction of a vinyl-terminated β-diketone with the homopolymeric ladderlike polyhydrosilsesquioxane (LPHSQ) and random copolymethylhydrosilsesquioxane (LRPMHSQ) respectively. These new kinds of FBDKLCP with M of 10~4 is thermotroic liquid crystalline polymer and its clearing temperatures T_i's and mesophase range △T's are much higher than those of the corresponding comb-like β-diketone liquid crystalline polysiloxane (DKLCP) by about 200℃. Similar results have been observed with the comparison of the two different structure Cu-coordinating compounds The significant increases in T_((?))'s and △T's of the FBDKLCP and Cu-FBDKLCP are mainly attributed to the great rigidity of the ladderlike polysilsesquioxane backbone.     

SYNTHESIS AND-CHARACTERIZATION OF THE SOLUBLE, HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT AND LADDERLIKE POLYHYDROSILSESQUIOXANE AND ITS COPOLYMERS

The high molecular ladderlike polyhydrosilsesquioxane (LPHSQ) and its copolymer, ladderlike random copolymethylhydrosilsesquioxane (LR-PMHSQ) and ladderlike block copolymethylsilsesqui-oxane(LB-PMHSQ) have been synthesized by a preaminolysis reaction of the corresponding trichlorosilane with 1 ,4-phenylene diamine(PDA) then by hydrolysis and polycondensation reactions The thermographs of these polymers measured by DSC method indicate that these macromolecular backbones are very rigid as seen from the DSC curves which are almost horizontal from room temperature until 350 ~C without noticeable glass transition. The content of Si—H group in the polymers can be regulated by changing the composition of the two copolymerized monomers. So the ladderlike polymers including its copolymers can be the useful precursors for the functional polymers, especially such as fishbone-like liquid crystalline polymers.     

SYNTHESES OF THE SOLUBLE,HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT AND LADDERLIKE POLYPH ENYLSILSESQUIOXAN E AND COPOLYMETHYLPHENYLSILSESQUIOXANES BY PREAMMINOLYSIS METHOD

Soluble, high molecular weight (MW) and ladderlike polyphenylsilsesquioxane (LPPSQ) and its copolymers, ladderlike random and block copolymethyiphenylsilsesquioxanes(LR-PMPSQ and LB-PMPSQ)have been prepared by preamminolysis, hydrolysis and polycondensation reactions. The preparation method can be carried out easily at the temperature below 95℃with high yield of 95 %, instead of the conventional way by using high-boiling solvent and any reaction activator or by precipitation with methanol. Three kinds of ladderlike polymers have been characterized. The MW's of the polymers reached to 10~6 without noticeable gelling. The scheme for synthetic route has been proposed.     

2,4,6-三甲基-2,4,6-叁(3′3′3′-三氟丙基)环三硅氧烷的简便制备法

2,4,6-三甲基-2,4,6-叁(3′3′3′-三氟丙基)环三硅氧烷(D_3~F)是合成氟硅橡胶的单体,一般以硅氢加于烯烃而制得:但因3,3,3-三氟丙烯的沸点为-22℃,需要在加压低温下操作,既不易纯化,又难以控制反应.我们以沸点102℃的甲基三甲氧基硅烷(1)、沸点45.5℃的1,1,1-三氟-3-氯丙烷(2)与镁屑在无溶剂常压下反应.这样既方便又安全,制得的3,3,3-三氟丙基

STUDY ON THE SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE SOLUBLE, HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT AND LAD D ERLIKE PO LYMETH YLSILSESQ UIO XANE

A new method for the preparation of a soluble ladderlike polymethylsilsesquioxane with high molecular weight ((?)=10~5—10~6) and low molecular weight distribution (D=Mw/Mn) in common solvents instead of the formerly used toxic methylisobutylketone has been developed. The structure and macromolecular regularity were characterized by IR, X-ray diffraction, and ~(29)Si-NMR spectroscopy. The thermal property was studied by TGA and DSC.
