Bildung Siliciumorganischer Verbindungen. LV. Die Konformeren des 1,3,5,7-Tetrasila-bicyclo[3,3,1]nonans und 2,4,6,8,9-Pentasila-bicyclo[3,3,1]nonans

Formation of Organosilicon Compounds. LV. Conformeres of the 1,3,5,7-Tetrasilabicyclo 3,3,1] nonane and 2,4,6,8,9-Pentasila-bicyclo 3,3,1] nonane Two types of carbosilanes with a bicyclo 3,3,1] nonane structure are reported, derivatives of 1,3,5,7-Tetrasila-bicyclo-3,3,1] nonane (a) and of 2,4,6,8,9-Pentasila-bicyclo 3,3,1] nonane (b) with an inverse structure in respect to the Si- and C-atoms. By means of NMR-investigations the structure can be determined. Derivatives of (a) are present in the Si₄C₁₁H₂₈ with fully methylated Si-atoms, the 1,5 dichloro-1,3,5,7-tetrasila-bicyclo 3,3,1] nonane and Si₄Cl₆C₅H₁₀ with fully chlorinated Si-atoms with twofold boat conformation. In the derivatives of type (b) as Si₅H₁₀C₄H₆ with hydrogenated Si-atoms as well as in 9,9-dichloro-2,4,6,8,9-pentasila-bicyclo 3,3,1] nonane a change in conformation is observed, whereas a rigid chair conformation is found for both rings in the Si-chlorimated derivative Si₅Cl₁₀C₄H₁₀. A comparison of atom-resp. H? H distances in cyclohexane and 1,3,5-Trisilacyclohexane gives evidence that the boat conformation is more preferable for the 1,3,5-Trisilacyclohexane than for cyclohexane due to larger H? H-distances (caused by Si? C-distances).
