NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis suggest that the aryl-substituted silenolates 2b,c exhibit increased character of functionalized silenes as compared to the alkyl-substituted derivative 2a due to the different coordination of the K+ counterion to the SiC(R)O moiety. 2b,c, thus, reacted with ClSiiPr3 to give the exocyclic silenes (Me3Si)2Si(Si2Me4)2Si C(OSiiPr3)R (3b:R = Mes; 3c: o-Tol), while 2a afforded the Si-silylated acylcyclohex- asilane 1d. The thermally remarkably stable compound 3b, which is the first isolated silene with the sp2 silicon atom incorporated into a cyclopolysilane framework, could be fully characterized structurally and spectroscopically. here is no doubt about the central role of alkenes and Now we would like to report the synthesis, spectroscopic − + fi T metal enolates [(R2CC(R)O] M in organic chemistry, characterization, and molecular structures of the rst cyclic which has led to a thorough understanding of chemical and silenolates (2a−c) and the selective conversion of 2b to the physical properties and numerous applications of such silene 3b, which is the first example of an isolated stable compounds.

In trapping experi­ ments with various trapping agents, no corresponding silene-trapping adduct was observed. We suggest that more important species for the formation of five isomeric dimers might be the zwitterionic species generated by virtue of intramolecular donor atom rather than the silene. Keywords : Silene, Zwitterionic species, Dimer, Intramolecular donor atom.

  • Bonding and Structure of Disilenes and Related Unsaturated Group-14 Element Compounds
    No. 5] Proc. Jpn. Acad., Ser. B 88 (2012) 167 Review Bonding and structure of disilenes and related unsaturated group-14 element compounds † By Mitsuo KIRA*1, (Communicated by Hitosi NOZAKI, M.J.A.) Abstract: Structure and properties of silicon-silicon doubly bonded compounds (disilenes) are shown to be remarkably different from those of alkenes. X-Ray structural analysis of a series of acyclic tetrakis(trialkylsilyl)disilenes has shown that the geometry of these disilenes is quite flexible, and planar, twist or trans-bent depending on the bulkiness and shape of the trialkylsilyl substituents. Thermal and photochemical interconversion between a cyclotetrasilene and the corresponding bicyclo[1.1.0]tetrasilane occurs via either 1,2-silyl migration or a concerted electrocyclic reaction depending on the ring substituents without intermediacy of the corresponding tetrasila-1,3-diene. Theoretical and spectroscopic studies of a stable spiropentasiladiene have revealed a unique feature of the spiroconjugation in this system. Starting with a stable dialkylsilylene, a number of elaborated disilenes including trisilaallene and its germanium congeners are synthesized. Unlike carbon allenes, the trisilaallene has remarkably bent and fluxional geometry, suggesting the importance of the :-<* orbital mixing. 14-Electron three-coordinate disilene- palladium complexes are found to have much stronger :-complex character than related 16-electron tetracoordinate complexes.

[email protected] ABSTRACT The ideal gas thermochemical properties such as standard heat of formation, entropy and heat capacities of 112 inorganic and 35 organic neutral compounds, radicals and ions containing silicon were calculated using molecular properties obtained with the G3B3 (or G3//B3LYP) method. Among them were linear and cyclic silanes, silenes, hydrocarbonsilanes, fluorine and oxygen containing compounds. Many of their molecular and thermodynamic properties were calculated for the first time and 16 of them had no CAS No. Additionally the thermochemical properties were presented in the NASA 7-term polynomial format for the temperature range of 200 K to 6000 K commonly used in chemical kinetic modeling and simulation programs. The polynomials are available in the supplement to this article free of charge. 2 KEYWORDS Thermodynamic data, Thermochemistry, Thermochemical properties, Heat of formation, Entropy, Enthalpy, Heat capacity, NASA format, Quantum chemical calculation, G3B3 composite approach, Silicon hydride, Silanes, Silicon fluoride, Silicon hydrocarbon, Silicon ions, Silicon compounds, Database INTRODUCTION Silicon containing substances are widely used and important for the mankind.
