K. Wada et al., Synthesis of alkenylene-bridged macrocyclic silsesquioxanes by ruthenium or rhodium-catalyzed ring-closing reactions of bis(allyldimethylsilyl) groups, CHEM COMMUN, (18), 2001, pp. 1802-1803
Novel alkenylene-bridged oligosilsesquioxanes composed of half-caged struct
ures with 16- or 17-membered rings as well as a titanium-containing molecul
e with a twisted 21-membered macrocycle have been synthesized by ruthenium
or rhodium-catalyzed ring-closing reactions of silsesquioxanes with bis(all
yldimethylsilyl) groups.
