Abstract

Azido functional silsesquioxanes are the natural extension of click chemistry and a convenient starting material for further synthesis of new POSS compounds as well as modification of other materials in 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition processes. Increasing demand for these compounds has stimulated the search for new and efficient methods for their synthesis. In this paper, we present characterization and methodology of synthesis of new POSS compounds bearing azido groups via epoxy ring-opening reaction in epoxy functional POSS compounds with sodium azide. Two new POSS derivatives with azido and hydroxy functionalities were obtained­ with a high selectivity and yield. Also two new nitro- and hydroxy-functionalized POSS derivatives were obtained in the reaction of epoxy-functionalized POSS compounds with 4-nitrophenol.

Key words

POSS - functionalized spherosilicates - oxirane ring opening - azides - nitrates
