Hexamethyldisiloxane 1.9 GPa 3. Results and discussion ν SiOSi ν SiC3 Raman spectra of trimethylsilanol at ambient pressure resem- bled those described in previous reports. All observed peaks can be assigned to vibration modes of trimethylsilanol [8–10]. Upon compression, crystallization of trimethylsilanol was observed visu- ally at around 0.3 GPa. No remarkable change of Raman peaks was 1.6 GPa observed along with crystallization at 0.3 GPa (see Figure 1). The ν SiC3 liquid–solid transition pressure is markedly lower than that of di- Intensity methyl phenyl silanol (at 5.0 GPa) [14]. This contrast indicates that the bulky phenyl group lowers intermolecular interactions of sila- 550 600 650 700 750 800 nol considerably. At pressures higher than 0.3 GPa, irreversible Raman shift (cm-1) 1.6 GPa ν change occurred after the sample was kept in the solid phase for ν SiOSi SiC3 a certain time. Figure 1a and b show representative Raman spectra ν SiC3 After 6 days collected with increasing pressure. After the sample was kept at 1.5 GPa 1.5 GPa for 6 days, two new peaks appeared at 541 and 1 675 cmÀ , suggesting the formation of hexamethyldisiloxane (see Figure 1a). The frequencies of new peaks coincide with those of 0. 3 GPa SiO stretching mode and SiC stretching mode of solid hexame- thyldisiloxane under high pressure measured at 1.9 GPa (Figure Crystallization 1a upper). Symmetric and asymmetric CH stretching modes split 0. 1 GPa into several peaks, which is also consistent with the formation of hexamethyldisiloxane (Figure 1b).
