Abstract

Hexylene-and phenylene-bridged polymethylsiloxane xerogels X-2 and X-4,respectively, were prepared by the sol-gel hydrolysis and condensation of 1,6-bis(diethoxymethyl-silyl)hexane 1 and 1, 4-bis(diethoxymethysilyl)benzene2 under acidic and basic conditions. These polymerizations afforded networkpolymers in the form of wet gels within several hours. The gels wereprocessed to afford xerogels whose characteristics (determined by solidstate 13C and 29Si CP MAS NMR spectroscopy andnitrogen sorption porosimetry) were compared and contrasted with those oftheir analogous polysilsesquioxanes. 29Si CP MAS NMR indicates ahigh, degree of hydrolysis and polycondensation; porosimetry measurementsreveal that the materials have significant surface areas, save for theacid-catalyzed hexylene gels X-2.
