Hydrogen-bonding-induced Layered Assembly of Cage Siloxanes Modified with Diisopropylsilanol Groups

Abstract
Cage siloxanes modified with diisopropylsilanol groups were synthesized and crystallized into a layered structure containing 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene molecules in the interlayer voids, which indicates that the organic groups attached to the silanol groups have an important role in the assembling behavior of cage siloxanes.
