Abstract 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, 7-and 8-trimethylsilylquinolines and their methiodides as well as some 2-silyl-alkylquinolines were obtained by lithium synthesis in order to elucidate intramolecular donor-acceptor interactions between nitrogen and silicon atoms. 1 H, 13 C, 14 N, 15 N and 29 Si NMR spectra of the compounds were studied and quantum-chemical calculation of charges on individual atoms in the unsubstituted quinoline and in ...
