Perchlorophenyl-silicon compounds. Crystal and molecular structure of perchlorotriphenylsilane
Abstract
The synthesis of tris(pentachlorophenyl)silane (1), perchlorotriphenylsilane (2), and bromotris(pentachlorophenyl)silane (3) are reported for the first time, the hydrolysis of (2) and (3) under neutral conditions giving tris(pentachlorophenyl)silanol (4); the structure of the silane (2) has been established by X-ray crystallography.
