1. A compound having the following structural formula (I): wherein X is chosen from O, S, or N; Y is chosen from O, S, or N; Z is H, or a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group; R is chosen from a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C24 alkyl, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group; each of the positions 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 is chosen from hydrogen, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, or OSiQ3; wherein none of the groups X, Y, Z, or R is connected to another group Z, or R by a covalent bond; wherein Q is chosen from a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group; provided that R does not include a non-aromatic olefin; provided that neither position R nor position 10 includes a carbonyl; provided that, when R is phenyl, then position 4 is neither aryl nor substituted aryl; provided that R is not
