“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Phenyl-, hexyl-, pentafluorophenyl-and (phenylethynyl)trifluorosilanes having tetracoordinated silicon atom form complexes with pyridine (of 1:1 and 1:2 composition), 2,2′-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline (of 1:1 composition) in which the silicon atom is penta-or hexacoordinated. [7][8][9] (Aroyloxymethyl)trifluorosilanes, which are typical compounds of pentacoordinate silicon with intramolecular coordination bond C=O→Si, [10][11][12][13] also form two types of stable complexes with pyridine having hexacoordinate silicon atom: 1:1 complexes having the retained intramolecular coordination bond C=O→Si and the newly formed intermolecular bond N→Si, and 1:2 complexes having two newly formed intermolecular bonds N→Si and lacking the intramolecular bond C=O→Si. [1][2][3][4]9] With bidentate nitrogen-containing bases, like TMEDA, 2,2′-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline, (aroyloxymethyl)trifluorosilanes form only complexes of 1:1 composition having hexacoordinate silicon atom.…”
