An Ab initio comparative study of bicyclo[1.1.0]tetrasilane and bicyclo[2.2.0]hexasilane
Abstract
Ab initio calculations show that bicyclo[2.2.0]hexasilane has a normal central bond, unlike the more strained bicyclo[1.1.0]tetrasilane, and is much less strained than its carbon analogue bicyclo[2.2.0]hexane.
