Room-temperature values of A for muonium in different cube-shaped Si8O12 units (T-8 units or octasilsesquioxanes), in H2O, and in D2O were determined with an accuracy of about 1 MHz. The results are compared with those obtained from high-resolution ESR on H in H2O, and D in D2O, and in different silsesquioxanes in the temperature range 40-300 K. Both the strong isotope effect and the temperature dependence are well described by a single-oscillator model of Roduner et al. (J. Chem. Phys. 102 (1995) 5989). Striking differences seen between the different silsesquioxanes and between the porous Optipur and bulk Suprasil reflect varying spatial constraints and electronic interactions.
