Corner capping of silsesquioxane cages by chemical warfare agent simulants

The room-temperature uptake and reactivity of gas-phase methyl dichlorophosphate (MDCP) and trichlorophosphate (TCP) within trisilanolphenyl-polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) Langmuir-Blodgett films are investigated. The halogenated phosphate molecules are found to readily diffuse into and react with the hybrid inorganic-organic silicon-oxide films under ambient conditions. Reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and fast atom bombardment-mass spectrometry (FAB-MS) measurements suggest that the chlorophosphates undergo hydrolysis with the silanol groups of the POSS LB-film. Substitution and elimination reactions appear to cap the corner of the POSS molecules, leaving a surface-bound phosphoryl group and a resulting structure that is highly stable at elevated temperatures.     

Facile Assembly of Chiral Metallosquares by Using Enantiopure Tribenzotriquinacene Corner Motifs

A pair of enantiomerically pure metallosquares based on linear platinum‐diacetylene edges and tribenzotriquinacene corner units was synthesized. Their structures were characterized by ¹H‐, ¹³C‐ and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy as well as MALDI‐TOF mass spectrometry and circular dichroism. Based on DFT calculation, the optimized geometry possesses a distorted square conformation in which the four edges are not sitting on the same plane. The molecular square further self‐assembled in the solid state to afford microspheres with diameter of approximately 300 nm, as determined by scanning electron microscopy.
