Isolable Alkali-Metal-Substituted Silyl Radicals (tBu2MeSi)2SiM (M = Li, Na, K): Electronically and Sterically Accessible Planar Silyl Radicals
Abstract

Tetrakis(di-tert-butylmethylsilyl)disilene (1) was treated with 2.2 equiv of MNp (metal naphthalenide, M = Na, K) in THF followed by addition of 2 equiv of a crown ether (2b, 15-crown-5; 2c, 18-crown-6), resulting in the formation of the first isolable alkali-metal-substituted silyl radicals 2, which were characterized by both EPR spectra and X-ray crystallography. The lithium-substituted silyl radical 2a was also synthesized as an isolable compound by the reaction of free silylene anion radical with LiBr, and it has a monomeric structure in solution but a dimeric structure in the solid state.
