One-Pot Atmospheric Pressure Synthesis of [H3Ru4(CO)12]–

Reductive carbonylation of RuCl3•3H2O at CO-atmospheric pressure results in the [H3Ru4(CO)12]– (1) polyhydride carbonyl cluster. This one-pot synthesis involves heating RuCl3•3H2O at 80 °C in 2-ethoxyethanol for 2 h, addition...

Soluble polymethylsilsesquioxane synthesis in organic solvents

In this work the synthesis process of soluble polymethylsilsesquioxane that is a valuable prepolymer in the production of ceramic products, high-temperature protective coatings for high-speed aircraft, primary product for the formation of LEDs and other elements of microelectronics was studied. The synthesis was carried out from methyltrichlorosilane in a binary system of polar and non-polar solvent under the water action. The possibility of polymethylsilsesquioxane with a sufficiently high seepage at atmospheric pressure synthesis was shown. The resulting compound was analyzed. The presence of polymethylsilsesquioxane bonds in the polymer was identified by infrared Fourier spectroscopy on the Bruker Tensor 27 spectrometer. The resulting polymer has all the characteristics of polymethylsilsesquioxane. This is confirmed in particular by the presence of a characteristic wide band over the range by 1050-1100 cm-1 in the spectrum. To find out the optimal synthesis conditions and obtain the maximum yield of polymethylsilsesquioxane, the experiment was planned using the Box-Wilson planning method. The influence of temperature, reaction time and nature of solvents on the yield of polymethylsilsesquioxane was also studied. The optimal conditions for the synthesis were found out. The highest yield of polymethylsilsesquioxane was observed at 10 °C with a 6 hours synthesis duration. When the temperature increased to 30 °C, a partial decrease in the polymer yield was observed. It is assumed that at a high temperature and a significant time of the process, a partial decrease in the yield of polymethylsilsesquioxane associated with a decrease in the soluble fraction begins to occur.
