Abstract: | Formation of Organosilicon Compounds. 94. Crystal Structure of Hexaphenyltrisilacyclohexane Si3C39H36 1.1.3.3.5.5-Hexaphenyl-1.3.5-trisilacyclohexane crystallizes monoclinically in the space group P21/n (No. 14) with a = 1718.3 pm, b = 1769.2 pm, c = 1091.4 pm, β = 90.72° and Z = 4 molecules per unit cell. The trisilacyclohexane sceleton is present in a flattened twist boat conformation with mean bond angles of 110.0° at the Si atoms and 117.9° at the C atoms, respectively. The mean bond lengths are d(Si? C) = 187.1 pm in the six membered ring and 187.9 pm to the substituents. |
