Abstract

Abstract The conformational preference of the t-butyl group in 1-t-Bu-1-silacyclohexane was studied experimentally by means of gas-phase electron diffraction (GED), and temperature- dependent Raman spectroscopy as well as by quantum chemical calculations applying density functional theory and ab initio methods. According to the GED experiment at 283 K, the vapor of the title compound contains only the equatorial conformer. At 99.5% level of ...
