Some highly sterically hindered organosilicon compounds

The chemistry of organometallic compounds with bulky ligands such as (Me3Si)3C(Tsi) or (Me2PhSI)3C(Tpsi) attached to a variety of metal centres is reviewed. The compounds Tsi2M (M = Zn, Cd, Hg) and the rare two co-ordinate TsiMn show exceptional thermal and hydrolytic stability. The corresponding alkylmetal halides form ring or cage structures. In a range of new boron compounds the structures o...

Regio- and stereoselective functionalization of electron-deficient alkenes by organosilicon compounds via photoinduced electron transfer*

Regioand stereoselective photoallylation of electron-deficient alkenes by use of allylic silanes via photoinduced electron transfer has been described. Similar photoinduced functionalization reactions such as arylmethylation, alkylation, and silylation can be achieved by using a variety of organosilicon compounds. These photoreactions proceed via radical cations of organosilicon compounds and r...

Vibrational excitation of water by electron impact

Experimental and calculated differential cross sections DCSs for electron-impact excitation of the 010 bending mode and unresolved 100 symmetric and 001 antisymmetric stretching modes of water are presented. Measurements are reported at incident energies of 1–100 eV and scattering angles of 10° –130° and are normalized to the elastic-scattering DCSs for water determined earlier by our group. Th...
