Supersilylated tetrachlorodigermane (tBu3Si)Cl2GeGeCl2(SitBu3) and trigermoxetane (tBu3Si)3Ge3Cl3O
(2004)
In contrast to the tetrachlorodigermane (tBu3Si)Cl2Ge-GeCl2(SitBu3), the cis,transcyclotrigermane (tBu3SiGeCl)3 is sensitive to oxygen. Its treatment with O2 at ambient temperature leads to the trigermoxetane (tBu3Si)3Ge3Cl3O. According to an X-ray structure analysis of single crystals consisting of cocrystallized (tBu3Si)3Ge3Cl3O and (tBu3Si)Cl2Ge-GeCl2(SitBu3) the trigermaoxetane contains an almost planar Ge3O-ring while the tetrachlorodigermane (tBu3Si)Cl2Ge- GeCl2(SitBu3) possesses a Si-Ge-Ge-Si chain which is exactly all trans,
The supersilylated ethene trans-(tBu3Si)HC=CH(SitBu3) (triclinic, P ī) is accessible from the reaction of tBu3SiCHBr2 with nBuLi at −78 °C in THF or Et2 O. The reaction of Li(H2NCH2CH2NH2)C≡CH with tBu3SiBr leads to the formation of (tBu3Si)C≡CH and (tBu3Si)C≡C(SitBu3). X-Ray quality crystals of (tBu3Si)C≡C(SitBu3) (triclinic, P ī) were obtained by recrystallization from hexane. In contrast to the structures of the disilane tBu3Si-SitBu3 and the disiloxane tBu3Si-O-SitBu3, the sterically crowded ethene trans-(tBu3Si)HC=CH(SitBu3) and ethyne (tBu3Si)C≡C(SitBu3) feature dihedral angles of 60° in the solid-state structures.
