Abstract

Abstract: A series of substituted (arylethynyl) pentamethyldisilanes was prepared by the palladium (0)-catalyzed coupling of aryl halides and ethynylpentamethyldisilane. The absorption and emission spectra of these acetylenic disilanes were measured over the temperature range from 296 to 77 K in both polar and nonpolar solvents and rigid organic glasses. At 77 K normal'(n, n*) fluorescence and 3 (n, n*) phosphorescence are observed ...
