Abstract: | Synthesis and Crystal and Molecular Structure of Tetrafluoro[2-(pyrrolidinio)ethyl]silicate The zwitterionic tetrafluoro[2-(pyrrolidinio)ethyl]silicate ( 4 ) was synthesized by reaction of trimethoxy(2-pyrrolidinoethyl)silane ( 5 ) with hydrogen fluoride in ethanol/hydrofluoric acid at 0°C. The crystal and molecular structure of 4 was studied at ?100°C by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In addition, 4 was characterized by solution-state NMR studies (CD3CN: 1H, 13C). |
