Cage and ladder structures of silsesquioxanes characterized by UV-MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry

The molar mass distribution of SSO in the first generation derived from the hydrolytic condensation oftwo trialkoxysilanes, [ 3- ( Methacryloxy ) propyl ] trimethoxysilane ( MPMS ) and vinyltrimethoxysilane ( VMS ) ,are determined by UV-MALDI-TOF MS. The comparisons of theoretical masses with experimental masses arecalculated using the proposed compounds, which are assigned to formulas Tn (OH)m, Tn (OMe)y orTn(OH)x(OMe)y[T=RSiO1.5 (x+y)/2n, R=--(CH2)3OOCCH(CH3)CH2 and--CHCH2]. Both theproposed cage and ladder structures of SSO derived from similar sol-gel process of monomers are illustrated. Thecauses for the difference in structures between SSO M and SSO V is discussed as well.
