Bis(2-aminobenzoato)phenylsilicate (1), bis(2-aminothiophenoxy)phenylsilicate (2), and bis(2-hydroxybenzoato) phenylsilicate (3) anions were obtained as their triethylammonium salts from the reactions of phenylsilane with appropriate ligands in the presence of triethylamine. The compounds were characterized by IR, multinuclear ( 1 H, 13 C, and 29 Si) NMR, and FAB mass spectral data. Th X-ray crystal structure of 1.CH 2 Cl 2 revealed slightly distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry around silicon. The spirobicyclic silicate anions are the first examples with silicon-heteroatom linkages having six-membered (1) and five-membered (2) rings on silicon.
