Isolation of a tetrahydroxydisiloxane formed during hydrolysis of an alkyltrichlorosilane: crystal and molecular structure of [But(OH)2Si]2O
Abstract
Hydrolysis of ButSiCl3 affords the tetrahydroxydisiloxane [But(OH)2Si]2O which has a linear Si–O–Si angle and which forms surprisingly stable hydrogen-bonded sheets in the solid state.
