Abstract

Cube-octameric silsesquioxane (POSS) based conjugation scaffolds for copper catalysed azide-alkyne [3+2] cycloaddition are reported. The synthetic route to octaazido and octaalkyno functionalised POSS templates without cage rearrangements is described. A set of click couplings is conducted including the first effective conjugation with a fully unprotected functional peptide towards a POSS assembled peptide octamer.
