Abstract
Phenylene- and terphenylene-bridged polysilsesquioxane networks are modeled using computer-aided structure elucidation and molecular-dynamics (MD) simulations. The models are matched with analytical results such as elemental analysis, solid-state 29Si NMR, and gas-sorption porosimetry. Models which are cross-linked in every direction in three-dimensional space do not contain pore volume and are rejected. Models which are cross-linked in only two dimensions fit well with all analytical data. In conclusion, the bridged polysilsesquioxane networks seem to be formed by an aggregation of two-dimensional structures covalently or hydrogen bonded together.
