Abstract

Silicon alkoxides are ideal starting materials for the preparation of silica-based materials.[1] The development of synthetic methods toward various alkoxysiloxane oligomers with finely controlled structures and reactivities is important for the synthesis of materials with defined compositions, structures, morphologies, and functionalities.[2, 3] However, examples of the rational synthesis of alkoxysiloxane oligomers are limited.
