Silsesquioxane compounds have an empirical formula RSiO1.5 (Sigma-Aldrich Undated), where R is hydrogen or any alkyl, alkylene, aryl, arylene, or organo-functional derivatives of alkyl, alkylene, aryl, or arylene groups (Baney et al. 1995). Silsesquioxane compounds can take on several structures, with the most common being a ladder-type structure and a cubic structure which is commonly referred to as a T8 cube, as shown below.
