Abstract
1-Methyl-1,3,5-trisilacyclohexane was synthesized and its structure and conformational properties have been determined by gas-phase electron diffraction (GED) and quantum chemical (QC) calculations. The molecule may exist in two forms differing from each other by the substituent's position. QC results show that the equatorial conformer is predicted to be slightly more stable than the axial conformer; note that one method (M06-2X) with basis set 6-311G** shows an equal amount of Ax and Eq conformers: ratio (Ax/Eq) = (30–50):(70–50)% (depending on the method and basis set). From the GED data, the molar fractions of the conformers were found to be Ax:Eq = 54(10):46(10) at 280(5) K. A temperature-dependent Raman experiment resulted in an Ax:Eq ratio of 58(4):42(4). Conformational properties are compared in series of analogous 1-X-1-(hetero)cyclohexanes.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Physical Organic Chemistry is the foremost international journal devoted to the relationship between molecular structure and chemical reactivity in organic systems. It publishes Research Articles, Reviews and Mini Reviews based on research striving to understand the principles governing chemical structures in relation to activity and transformation with physical and mathematical rigor, using results derived from experimental and computational methods. Physical Organic Chemistry is a central and fundamental field with multiple applications in fields such as molecular recognition, supramolecular chemistry, catalysis, photochemistry, biological and material sciences, nanotechnology and surface science.
