A highly selective and scalable dehydrative approach for the synthesis of unsymmetric disiloxanes and polysiloxanes is reported using Earth-abundant cobalt catalyst under an air atmosphere.
The oxa-Michael addition reaction was developed as an organosilicon synthetic methodology for the synthesis of functionalized disiloxanes with nonconventional fluorescence.
This work investigates the linearisation barrier of disiloxane using the fixed node diffusion Monte Carlo (FNDMC) method. The basis-set independence of FNDMC relative to other theoretical methods is valuable in studying Si–O–Si bonds.
The highly selective and scalable dehydrogenative hydroxylation of hydrosilanes, featuring a low loading of the Earth-abundant cobalt catalyst, water as the green oxidant, and good generality for various hydrosilanes, is reported.
Chemical transformation of organo(hydro)silanes to disiloxanes, siloxanols and organosilica colloidal structures is achieved using AuNP-catalyzed hydrolytic oxidation of Si–H bonds.
