Abstract:
Coulomb-dominated donor-acceptor interactions are, according to results of density functional calculations, the rationale for the extremely long Si-N distances (about 300 pm) in unusual hypercoordinate organosilicon compounds with seven- and eight-coordinate Si centers. The picture shows an example with sevenfold coordination.
