Substituent and solvent effects on the electronic and structural properties of silacyclopropylidenoids
Özet
The isomeric structures, energies, and properties of the substituted silacyclopropylidenoids, SiC2H3RLiBr (R = -H, -CH3, -SiH3, -CN, -OH, -NH2), were studied by ab initio calculations at the MP2/6-311+G(d, p) level of theory. The calculations indicate that each of SiC(2)H(3)RLiBrs has three stationary structures: silacyclopropylidenoid (S), tetrahedral (T1 or T2), and inverted (I). The conductor-like polarizable continuum model (CPCM) using various solvents (dimethyl sulfoxide, acetone, tetrahydrofuran, and diethyl ether) has been applied to compute single point energies for title molecules. In addition, the molecular electrostatic potential maps, natural bond orbitals, and the frontier molecular orbitals of substituted silacyclopropylidenoids were calculated.
