silyl azides resulted in the formation of triplet states even for those having two or three Si–N3 groups in a molecule. ESR spectra of the silylnitrenes exhibited a part of the fine structure at around 820 mT. All the silyl azides studied gave nearly identical D-values (ca. ) and much larger than those in phenylnitrenes. The results suggested that electron spins are localized in the nitrogen p-orbitals

procedure is tolerant of a variety of aromatic substituents, for example, alkyl, halo, nitro, cyano, imide, acid anhydride, etc., and the synthesis of several new substituted aromatic chlorosilanes containing benzoyl chloride and phthalic anhydride moieties is described. Chloromethyldisilane starting reagents are available from the direct reaction of methyl chloride and silicon, making this methodology

The zirconocene-coupling of diynes with internal silicon substituents, MeC=CMe2SiArSiMe2C=CMe (1: Ar = 1,4-C6H4; 2: Ar = 1,3-C6H4; 3: Ar = 4,4'-C6H4C6H4), generates regiospecific polymers containing zirconacyclopentadiene in the main chain (5-7). These organometallic polymers hydrolyze cleanly to butadienediyl polymers of the type [Me2SiArSiMe2CH=CMeCMe=CH](n) (11-13), and polymer 5 reacts with iodine to give the iodine-containing polymer [1,4-Me2SiC6H4SiMe2C(I)=CMeCMe=C(I)](n) (14). The organometallic polymers undergo facile and high-yield degradations to macrocycles under mild conditions (refluxing tetrahydrofuran solution). The size and shape of the resulting macrocycles depend upon the nature of the diyne spacer group. Thus, polymers 5 and 7 containing parallel diyne units convert to the trimeric macrocycles [Me2SiArSiMe2C4Me2ZrCp2](3) (15: Ar = 1,4-C6H4; 24: Ar = 4,4'-C6H4C6H4), while polymer 6 gives the dimeric macrocycle [1,3-Me2SiC6H4SiMe2C4Me2ZrCp2](2) (18). The dimeric macrocycle [Me2SiC6H4-SiMe2C6H4SiMe2C4Me2ZrCp2](2) (20) was obtained directly from the zirconocene coupling of Me2Si[(1,4-C6H4)SiMe2(C=CMe)](2) (4) by heating the reaction mixture to reflux. In. similar manner, the diyne Me2Si(C=CMe)(2) was converted in high yield to the hexameric macrocycle [Me2SiC4Me2ZrCp2](6) (22). The macrocycles 15, [1,4-Me2SiC6H4SiMe2C4Me2H2](3) (16), and 18 were characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Molecules of 15 adopt a nearly planar Cg macrocyclic structure with a cavity described by an average transannular Si ... Si distance of 13.2 Angstrom, while the hydrolyzed macrocycle 16 has a chair conformation. This conformation change results from conversion of cis diene groups in the zirconacyclopendiene fragments to trans diene groups in 16. The high-yield formation of macrocycles apparently results from the reversible nature of the alkyne-coupling reaction, which allows for a low-energy pathway to the smallest macrocycle possessing minimal ring strain.
