(PhSiO1.5)(8,10,12) cages are bulky, electron withdrawing like CF3; yet self-brominate (60 degrees C), favoring ortho substitution: PhT8 (approximate to 85%), PhT10 (approximate to 75%) and PhT12 (60%). First-principles calculations suggest bromination initiates when Br-2 is trapped'' via H-bonding to ortho-H's, followed by polarization via strong interactions with cage faces, possibly cage LUMOs.
