IR and Raman spectra of CI2SiR 2 (R = Hex n (1), Bu ~ (2)) in liquid, glassy, and polycrystalline states were investigated. In the liquid and glassy states, rotational isomerism about the Si--C and C--C bonds takes place, the compounds being mixtures of con formers.In the crystalline state, only one, the most stable conformer (all-tram in relation to the C--C bonds), persists. Compound 7_. in contrast to 1, was found to crystallize on cooling with great difficulty.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
