34. Cis syndiotactic ladder structures have been proposed to account for the solublity of polysilsesquioxanes which, based on the number of siloxane bonds to each silicon, should be cross-linked and insoluble. See: Brown, J. F. Jr. J. Polym. Sci. Part C 1963, 83. It is likely, based on careful viscosity studies, that the polymers are highly branched structures with a significant contribution of cyclic structures. See: Frye, C. L.; Collins, W. T. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1970, 92, 5586.
