Metal Decorated Silsesquioxane Structures: Building Blocks
Silsesquioxane cube
These images show a silsesquioxane cube consisting of 8 Si atoms and 12 O atoms. A ball & stick representation is shown at the left and spacefilling at the right.
Two silsesquioxane cubes connected with a SiCl2 bridge
This image shows a SiCl2 bridge that interconnects two cubes.
A ball & stick representation is shown on the left and spacefilling at the right.
The cubic simulation cell has a side length of 50 Å and contains a periodic structure.
Silsesquioxane cube with TiCl3 end unit
This image shows a TiCl3 catalytic site connected to a cube as an end unit (spacefilling at top and ball & stick at bottom).
The cubic simulation cell has a side length of 50 Å and contains a periodic structure.
Silsesquioxane cube with Si(CH3)3
These images show a CH3 group connected to a cube as an end unit.
A ball & stick representation is shown on the left and spacefilling at the right.
The cubic simulation cell has a side length of 50 Å and contains a periodic structure.
