TY - JOUR A1 - Falkenhagen, Jana A1 - Jancke, Harald A1 - Krüger, Ralph-Peter A1 - Rikowski, Eckhard A1 - Schulz, Günter T1 - Characterization of Silsesquioxanes by Size-exclusion chromatography and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry JF - Rapid communications in mass spectrometry N2 - Liquid chromatography in combination with spectroscopic methods like matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS) or nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful method to characterize silsesquioxanes and silsesquioxane mixtures. As new examples, the formation of silsesquioxyl-substituted silsesquioxanes [(n-octyl)7(SiO1.5)8]2O and [(n-octyl)7(SiO1.5)8O]2[(n-octyl)6(SiO1.5)8] as well as the cage rearrangement of octa-[(n-heptyl)silsesquioxane] to larger structur es [(n-heptyl)SiO1.5)]n up to n=28 are shown.
