Isolable p- and m-[(tBu2MeSi)2Si]2C6H4: Disilaquinodimethane vs Triplet Bis(silyl radical)
Abstract

Isomeric p- and m-disilaquinodimethanes 2 and 4 were synthesized by the reductive dehalogenation of the corresponding p- and m-bis(halosilyl)benzenes 1 and 3, respectively, and were isolated and structurally characterized. The X-ray diffraction and solid-state NMR studies of 2 revealed its singlet quinodimethane structure featuring two exocyclic Si═C double bonds with some singlet biradical contribution. In contrast, the X-ray crystallography and EPR measurements of 4 disclosed its biradical nature, described as a triplet ground state bis(silyl radical).
