Siloxane–organic hybrids …with well‐ordered mesostructures were synthesized through the self‐assembly of novel amphiphilic molecules. In their Full Paper on page 8500 ff. , K. Kuroda, A. Shimojima et al. have reported the use of a cubic octasiloxane cage as the hydrophilic head of an amphiphilic molecule. Different mesostructures can be formed depending on the number of alkyl chains per cage.
