Resumo |
The syntheses and crystal structures of the eight-membered <i>cyclo</i>-stannasiloxanes <i>cyclo</i>-[<i>t</i>-Bu(OH)Si(OSnt-Bu<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>2</sub>Si(OH)<i>t</i>-Bu] (<b>1</b>) and <i>cyclo</i>-{<i>t</i>-Bu<sub>2</sub>Si[OSn(CH<sub>2</sub>SiMe<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>O]<sub>2</sub>Si<i>t</i>-Bu<sub>2</sub>} (<b>2</b>) as well as the synthesis of the six-membered <i>cyclo</i>-stannasiloxane <i>cyclo</i>-{<i>t</i>-Bu<sub>2</sub>Si[OSn(CH<sub>2</sub>SiMe<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>]<sub>2</sub>O} (<b>3</b>) are reported. Compound <b>1</b> crystallizes as its <i>trans</i> isomer, but the <i>cis</i> isomer dominates in solution. In agreement with the experimentally obtained results, ab initio and DFT calculations on the model compounds <i>cyclo</i>-(H<sub>2</sub>SiO)<sub>4</sub> (<b>4</b>), <i>cyclo</i>-[H<sub>2</sub>Si(OSnH<sub>2</sub>)OSiH<sub>2</sub>] (<b>5</b>), <i>cyclo</i>-O(H<sub>2</sub>SiOSnH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>O (<b>6</b>), and <i>cyclo</i>-[H<sub>2</sub>Si(OSiH<sub>2</sub>)OSnH<sub>2</sub>] (<b>7</b>) indicate that the energetic preference to adopt puckered structures increases and the ring flexibility decreases with an increasing number of tin atoms in the ring. The rich diversity of puckered conformations is attributed to the steric demand of the different organic substituents. <br /> |
