Multiarmed cyclosiloxanes bearing terminal amine groups (DnA, n = 4, 5) were obtained via a photocatalytic thiol-ene reaction, with regioselectivities of β-adducts as high as 93% irrespective of the repeating unit number in the cyclosiloxane rings. Ketoenamine-linked hybrid networks using D4A and D5A as the starting monomers were successfully synthesized via a mild Schiff base reaction with 2,4,6-triformylphloroglucinol and demonstrated high thermal stability and the formation of nanoparticle assemblies.
