Synthesis and structural characterization of [Ph2Si(OH)OSi(OH)Ph2]3·(C4H4N2)2. The first crystallographic evidence for silanol–amine hydrogen bonding and its implications for organic–sediment interactions in natural waters
Abstract
The novel 3 : 2 adduct, [Ph2Si(OH)OSi(OH)Ph2]3·(C4H4N2), is bonded via silanol–amine hydrogen bonds which have been structurally characterized for the first time; it also contains two distinct geometries for the disiloxane molecules.
