X-ray analysis and NMR-studies of E- and Z-1,2-bis(fluorodimethylsilyl)-1,2-diphenylethenes
摘要:
The E- and Z-isomers (1a,1b) of 1,2-bis(fluorodimethylsilyl)-1,2-diphenylethene have been investigated by H-1, C-13 and F-19 NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and single crystal X-ray structure analysis. The NMR spectra of both compounds were markedly different, caused by the non-equivalence of all methyl groups and through non-bonding F-F interactions (through-space coupling) in isomer 1b. X-ray investigations reveal a widening of the C=C-Si angles at the expense of Si-C-Ph; the C=C bond of the Z-isomer is lengthened to 135.4(2) pm. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.
Synthesis, structure, and reactivity of 1,ω-bis(pseudo-pentacoordinated) 1,ω-difluoro-oligosilanes bearing 8-(dimethylamino)-1-naphthyl groups
摘要:
1,omega-Bis[8-(dimethylamino)-1-naphthyl]-1,omega-difluorotrisilane 1 (omega = 3) and tetrasilane 2 (omega = 4) have been prepared. The X-ray crystallography of dl-1 and meso-1 shows unsymmetrical structures having different coordination modes at the two terminal silicons. The unsymmetrical nature of the structure of 1 can also be observed by solid state CP/MAS NMR spectroscopy. Trisilane 1 is thermochemically labile and undergoes facile degradation at 145 degrees C, but is photochemically stable under irradiation of its benzene solution with a 6 W-low pressure mercury lamp, making a sharp contrast to the behavior of their tetracoordinate counterparts containing naphthyl groups which are thermochemically stable but photochemically active. Tetrasilane 2 undergoes a Pd(0)-catalyzed alpha-elimination of a fluorosilane moiety at the two pseudo-pentacoordinated silicon atoms to form the 1,2-difluorodisilane, which is trapped with diphenylacetylene as a double-silylation product.
