title: Synthesis and characterization of highly pure azido-functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS).
abstract: Novel azido-functionalized POSS were synthesized, which could serve as nanoprecursors for higher-order molecular construction of organic-inorganic hybrids via"click" chemistry.
