“…Hybrid organo-inorganic metallacomplexes based on branched silsesquioxane ligands tend to form intriguing molecular geometries (cage-like metallasilsesquioxanes (CLMSs)). − The wide list of CLMSs’ functionalities spans antifungal activity, magnetic properties (including examples of single-molecule magnets , or spin glasses), and optical behavior − (including the first examples of CLMSs’ temperature sensor , ). Regarding materials science, the design of CLMS-based anode materials, flame retardants, and functional coordination polymers − should be mentioned. Several reviews reflect the CLMSs’ efficiency in different catalyzed reactions. − Among recent examples, we could cite their activity in the carboxylation of gaseous alkanes, deacetalization/deketalization-Knoevenagel reactions, Chan–Evans–Lam coupling, hydroboration of ketones, and oxidative amidation .…”
