The crystal structure of (C6F5)4Si has been determined from three-dimensional single-crystal X-ray data collected on a computer-automated diffractometer. The compound crystallizes in space group I41/a with cell dimensions of a --17.165 (12), c = 8.125 (8) A and Z = 4. The (C6F5)4Si molecules have S 4 crystallographically imposed symmetry. Fullmatrix least-squares refinement yielded a conventional R factor of 0.070.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
