Abstract: | The hydrolytic condensation of methyltris(methyldichlorosiloxy)silane (1b), methyl(1a), and vinyltris(methyldiethoxysiloxy)silanes (1c) in dilute homogeneous solutions was studied. It was found by X-ray diffraction and1H NMR methods that, irrespective of reaction conditions, only octaorganooctasilsesquioxanes (T8), namely, octamethyloctasilsesquioxane and 1,4-divinylhexamethyloctasilsesquioxane, were obtained instead of the expected tetraorganotetrasilsesquioxanes (T4). These data suggest that the condensation processes involved in the hydrolysis of1a–c are predominantly intermolecular, and the molecules of the starting oligomers do not undergo rearrangements. Probably, the formation ofT4, whose molecules are built of four strained six-membered organosiloxane cycles, is less favorable thermodynamically than the formation of their homologs (T8) built of eightmembered organosiloxane cycles.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
