The nucleophilicity of both ortho- and meta-nitrophenolate anions is strong enough to give substituted products, but their basicity also facilitates cage-rearrangement reactions in polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS). Anions having a stronger basicity, but weaker nucleophilicity, such as CO, gave products only from cage-rearrangement, with the cage expansion products being isolable in multi-gram quantities using conventional column chromatography.
邻硝基苯酚根阴离子和间硝基苯酚根阴离子的亲核性都很强,足以生成取代产物,但它们的碱性也促进了多面体低聚倍半硅氧烷(POSS)中的笼重排反应。碱性较强但亲核性较弱的阴离子,如CO,仅通过笼重排生成产物,使用传统柱色谱法可分离出多克量的笼扩展产物。
