Abstract: The present inventors have obtained a PSQ derivative of a completely condensed type into which a functional group is readily introduced by using a novel PSQ derivative of an incompletely condensed type in which four alkaline metal atoms are bonded to silsesquioxane of a cage type having eight Si's. The above silsesquioxane derivative is represented by Formula (1). A silsesquioxane derivative to which alkaline metal atoms are bonded is represented by Formula (2). In Formula (1) and Formula (2), R is a group selected from alkyl, aryl and arylalkyl; Y is a group represented by Formula (a) or Formula (b); and M is a monovalent alkaline metal atom. X in Formula (a) and Formula (b) is hydrogen, halogen, a hydroxyl group or a monovalent organic group, and Z is —O—, —CH2— or a single bond. The preferred organic group is a functional group or a group having a functional group.

Abstract: Since the majority of conventional organic/inorganic composite materials are obtained by mechanical blending of a silsesquioxane and an organic polymer or other means, it was extremely difficult to control the structure of the composite as a molecular agglomerate. In order to solve such a problem, the invention is to provide a silicon compound represented by Formula (1). This novel silicon compound has a living radical polymerization initiating ability for addition polymerizable monomers of a wide range.

Abstract: A conventional silsesquioxane derivative has the problems that the functional groups are restricted and the chemical structure is not readily controlled and that it is expensive. The present inventors have developed a process for producing a silsesquioxane derivative at a high yield by a simple process in order to solve such problems. The novel silsesquioxane derivative according to the present invention is controlled in a structure thereof and has a functional group, which is excellent in reactivity with a target compound, to be modified. The present invention relates to a production process for a silsesquioxane derivative represented by Formula (2), characterized by using a silicon compound represented by Formula (1).
