A series of C2-symmetric bridged silsesquioxanes derived from L- and D-valine have been designed and synthesized. They were capable of forming physical gels in organic solvents such as ethanol, THF, and 1,4-dioxane. These silsesquioxanes formed helical bundles in 1,4-dioxane. With respect to the helical sense, a clear odd–even effect was found in the carbon number of the central alkylene segment. The silsesquioxanes with odd number alkylene segments derived from L-valine tended to self-assemble into right-handed helical bundles. On the contrary, those with even number alkylene segments tended to form left-handed helical bundles. Moreover, enantiomers derived from D-valine showed the opposite helical sense. The p : d ratio played an important role in the determination of helical sense. After sol–gel polycondensation under catalysts such as HCl, NaOH, and TBAF, helical hybrid silica bundles were identified in FESEM images. The helical sense of the bundles was sensitive to the catalysts and reaction conditions. Hybrid silica sponges showing both superoleophilic and superhydrophobic properties were obtained under a HCl diffusion procedure.
一系列源自L-和D-缬氨酸的C2对称桥接硅烷氧烷已被设计和合成。这些化合物能够在乙醇、四氢呋喃和1,4-二氧烷等有机溶剂中形成物理凝胶。这些硅烷氧烷在1,4-二氧烷中形成螺旋束。在螺旋方向上,发现中央烷基段的碳原子数存在明显的奇偶效应。源自L-缬氨酸的奇数烷基段硅烷氧烷倾向于自组装成右手螺旋束。相反,偶数烷基段的则倾向于形成左手螺旋束。此外,源自D-缬氨酸的对映体表现出相反的螺旋方向。p : d 比例在确定螺旋方向上发挥了重要作用。在HCl、NaOH和TBAF等催化剂的作用下,经过溶胶-凝胶聚缩合后,通过FESEM图像可以识别出螺旋混合硅氧化物束。这些束的螺旋方向对催化剂和反应条件敏感。在HCl扩散过程中获得了显示超级亲油和超级疏水特性的混合硅海绵。
