Abstract
The neutral pentacoordinate silicon(IV) complexes 8 and 9 with an SiO2N3 skeleton and the neutral hexacoordinate silicon(IV) complex 10.1/2 CH3CN with an SiO4N2 skeleton were synthesized, starting from tetra(cyanato-N)silane or tetra(thiocyanato-N)silane. Compounds 8 and 9 contain one tridentate dianionic ligand derived from 4-[(2-hydroxyphenyl)amino]pent-3-en-2-one and two monodentate singly charged cyanato-N or thiocyanato-N ligands bound to the silicon(IV) coordination center, whereas the silicon(IV) center of 10 is coordinated by two of these tridentate dianionic ligands. All compounds were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and solid-state and solution NMR spectroscopy. To get more information about the stereochemistry of the compounds studied, the experimental investigations were complemented by computational studies.
