Preparation and structure of a stable molecule containing a silicon nitrogen double bond and of its tetrahydrofuran adduct
Abstract
The pale yellow, solid silaketimine But2N–SiBut3 has been prepared and structurally characterized [SiN 1.568(3)Å, Si–N–Si 177.8(2)°]; it forms a stable adduct with tetrahydrofuran by complexation of the unsaturated silicon atom.
