Abstract:It has been revealed by ab initio calculations at
various levels that electropositive substituents (Li, BeH,
and
BH2) on silacyclopropene do not form bridge bond over the
ring, as in the case of 1-BH2-phosphirene.
Although
in 1-lithiumsilacyclopropene Li occupies a position on the top of the
ring, this structure, however, should be
more appropriately described as a silacyclopropene anion
Li+ ion pair, as shown by the MOs and Wiberg
indices. For the various substituted thiirenes studied (with all
combinations o… Show more
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.
