A series of neutral organosilicon compounds, R3Si(OPO) (R = Me (1), Et (2), Ph (3)), cis-R2Si(OPO)(2) (R = Me (4), Et (5), Pr-i (6), Bu-t (7), Ph (9)), (CH2)(3)Si(OPO)(2) (8), and cis-R2Si(OPO)Cl (R = Me (10), Et (11)) (OPO = 1-oxo-2-pyridinone) have been prepared and fully characterized. X-ray crystallographic analyses show 1 to be tetracoordinate, 3, 7, and 10 to be pentacoordinate, and 4-6, 8, and 9 to be hexacoordinate. In the hexacoordinate structures, a mixture of diastereomers is observed in the form of C/N site disorder in each OPO ligand. Variable-temperature C-13 and Si-29 NMR studies indicate reversible Si <- OC bond, dissociation occurring in all pentacoordinate and hexacoordinate complexes to a varying degree with greater tendency toward dissociation in hydrogen-bonding donor solvents. Significant weakening of the dative Si <- OC bond in 3 is observed in the cocrystallized adduct solvate 3 center dot Ph3SiOH center dot(1)/2C5H12, providing structural evidence for the decrease in coordination number of the OPO ligand by hydrogen-bonding donors. In the hexacoordinate complexes, increasing steric bulk of ancillary ligands also was found to promote dissociation. H-1 and C-13 VT-NMR studies of 4, 6, 8, and 9 indicate stereoisomerization equilibria concurrent with Si <- OC bond dissociation proposed to occur through trigonal-bipyramidal intermediates.
