Abstract
The use of tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAH) as an excellent catalyst for the disproportionation of alkyl and arylhydridosiloxanes to polysilsesquioxanes is demonstrated. The extent of disproportionation is controlled by the amount of catalyst added or by using solvent. Overall, this methodology gives access to silsesquioxane gels that cannot be accessed by traditional solgel means.
