Contributions to the Chemistry of Silicon Sulfur Compounds. XXXVIII. Hexa(tri-t-butoxy)disiloxane and Hexa(tri-t-butoxy)disilthiane Hexa(tri-t-butoxy)disiloxane 1 and Hexa(tri-t-butoxy)disilthiane 2 were prepared by reaction of R₃SiONa with R₃SiCl and R₃SiSNa with R₃SiCl (R = tri-t-butoxy), respectively. The mass spectra show characteristic series of fragments. A large ²⁹Si n.m.r. chemical shift of about —103.55 ppm is observed with 1 , whereas the value of 2 is —75.99 ppm. The crystal structure analysis of 1 result first in a colinear molecule (Si? ;O? ;Si = 180°) with 1 symmetry and relative short mean bond lengths of about d(Si? ;O) = 155.6 pm, but with large and strong anisotropic ellipsoids. Their quantitative rigid body analyses yield decisive corrections, namely a bent molecule with an Si? ;O? ;Si angle of 144.0° and d?_corr = 163.5 pm. Molecule 2 is also bent as expected (Si? ;S? ;Si = 110.5°, d?(Si? ;S) = 211.9 pm and after rigid body correction 108.0° and d_corr = 215.2 pm, respectively). The results of our investigations will be discussed corresponding to the energy differences of the varying configurations at the bridging atoms.

The compound crystallizes as colourless triclinic plates. F.I. mass spectra show only the mass of the dimeric species (m/e = 968), in the E.I. mass spectra, however, also the peak for the monomeric unit (m/e = 484) is observed. The molecule is of 1 /C_i symmetry. The central four-membered ring is plane, the bond distances and angles therein are d (Tl? S) = 289 pm and S/Tl/S = 91.5°.

The Structures of 2,2,3,3,5,5,6,6-Octachloro-1,4-bis(trichlorosilyl)-2,3,5,6-tetrasilabicyclo[2.1.1]-hexane and 1,1,3,4,6,6-Hexakis(trichlorosilyl)hexatetraene While reactions of (Cl₃Si)₂CCl₂ 1 with Si(Cu) in a fluid bed at 320°C exclusively yield products by silylation of the CCl₂ group in 1 does the reaction in a stirred bed preferrably give rize to chlorosilanes containing C? C double and triple bonds. Compounds 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 in Tab. 1 belong to the first group, whereas 3 and 4 belong to the second one. The reaction of 1 with elemental copper under dehalogenation at carbon produces 3, 4 and 11 . In the reaction of 1 with CaSi₂ no additional Si? C bonds are formed, exclusively chlorosilanes with multiple C? C bonds as 3, 4 and 10 were found besides of SiCl₄. The bicyclo[2.1.1]hexane 6 (Tab. 1) crystallizes monoclinically in the space group C2/c (no. 15) with a = 1557.8, b = 857.4, c = 1727.3 pm, β = 104.34° und Z = 4 molecules per unit cell; the hexatetraene 10 (Tab. 1) crystallizes monoclinically in the space group C2/m (no. 12) with a = 1189.6, b = 1433.8, c = 983.5 pm, β = 98.75° pm, and Z = 2 molecules per unit cell. The skeleton of 6 is a system of high bond stress with 2-C₂ symmetry. The strongly folded (138.8°) four-membered ring (sum of angles = 344.2°) and the presence of both a Si? Si bond length of 238.2 pm and a Si? Si non-bonding distance of 255.1 pm are remarkable aspects of this feature. The mean bond lengths in the bicyclic compound were found to be d(Si? C) = 190.9 pm and d(Si? C) = 185.1 pm for exo- and endocyclic bonds, respectively. The skeleton of 10 is of the symmetry 2/m-C_2h. The six-membered chain is plane. The central C? C single bond length and the mean distance of the cumulated double bonds are 148.6 pm and 130.5 pm, respectively.

Hydrido Silyl Complexes. V. Structural Changes in Hydrido Silyl Complexes Due to Si? H Interaction; Comparison between the Structures of (π-CH₃C₅H₄)(CO)₂Mn(H)SiR₃ and Analogous (π-C₅H₅)(CO)₂FeSiR₃ Complexes The structures of the complexes Cp(CO)₂FeSiFPh₂ ( 2a ) and Cp(CO)₂FeSiCl₃ ( 2b ), containing ?normal”? metal-silicon bonds, are compared with the known structures of the complexes MeCp(CO)₂Mn(H)SiFPh₂ ( 1a ) and MeCp(CO)₂Mn(H)SiCl₃ ( 1b ), containing Mn? H? Si three-center bonds. 2a crystallizes in space group P2₁/c, a = 805.8(3), b = 1417.5(6), c = 1498.2(4) pm, β = 90.99(3)°, 2b in space group P2₁/n, a = 817(1), b = 1244(1), c = 1142(1)pm, β = 99.9(1)°. In 2a gauche conformation in respect to the Fe? Si bond is found; in 2b the silylligand is rotated 12° around the Fe? Si axis out of a staggered conformation. Possible reasons for the unsymmetrical conformations are discussed. Lengthening of the Fe? Si distance from 221.6(1)pm in 2b to 227.8(1) pm in 2a corresponds to the expected increase in the bond radius of silicon due to exchange of the substituents at silicon. Additional lengthening of the Mn? Si distance by about 3.5 pm in 1a compared with 1b is attributed to the increased delocalization of the Mn? H? Si bond in 1a .

Formation of Organosilicon Compounds. 96. Preparation and Structure of P-Ylides of the 1,3,5-Trisilahexanes (Influence of the Substituents) The influence of the substituents at the silicon atoms on formation and structure of ylides of 1,3,5-trisilacyclohexanesis investigated. The reactions of 1 , 2 , 3 with Me₃Si? PMe₂ lead via cleavage of the Si? P bond and subsequent rearrangement to the ylides 4 , 5 and 6 . The x-ray structure determination reveals, that the atoms of the ylid part of 4 are in a plane with the shortened bond distances d(C? P) = 168.6 pm and d(Si? C) = 180.1 pm, whereas the other endocyclic Si? C distances remain nearly unaffected by the ylid formation. Only the endocyclic bond angles C? Si? C of the Si atoms of the ylid are enlarged (116°). In the molecule 6 d(C? P) = 164.6 pm is much shorter, but d(P? Br) = 236.6 pm is enlarged. This enlargement is coupled with a deviation of 17 pm for the ylidic C atom from the ylid plane. Distances and angles are normal in the methylated trisilnhexane. The ring in 6 has boat conformation, in 4 a flat chair conformation.

An X-ray structure determination (R_w = 0.040) shows the compound to be built up from two [lithium tris(trimethylsilyl)silanide] moieties which are connected via a bridging DME molecule. Two remaining sites of each four-coordinate lithium atom are occupied by a chelating DME ligand. The Li?
