Oligo- and polycyclosiloxanes were obtained by the polycondensation of (tetrahydroxy)(tetraaryl)cyclotetrasiloxanes in equilibrium and non-equilibrium conditions in the presence and absence of montmorillonite (MMT). Their composition and the structures of their components were investigated by infrared (IR) spectroscopy, 29Si nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) mass spectrometry, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), and gel-penetrating chromatography (GPC). Also, a comparison of polymers formed in the presence of MMT and via anionic polymerization was performed showing differences in their structures.
