Abstract
Conformational analysis of Si-mono- and Si,Si-disubstituted silacyclohexanes as well as their analogues with a heteroatom(s) in the ring is reviewed with the focus on the recent results. Experimental measurements in the gas phase (gas electron diffraction, GED) and low temperature NMR spectroscopy (LT NMR) on 1H, 13C and 29Si nuclei are described along with theoretical calculations at the DFT and MP2 levels of theory. Structural and conformational specific features are shown to be principally different from those of the carbon predecessors—the corresponding cyclohexanes, oxanes, thianes and piperidines. The role of various effects (steric, hyperconjugation, stereoelectronic, electrostatic) is demonstrated.
