Abstract

AbstractSubstituent effects on the potential energy surface of X2SiSe (X=H, F, Cl, Br, SiH3, and CH3) were investigated by using the B3LYP and QCISD(T) methods. Our theoretical findings suggest that either electronegative or steric effects play a dominant role in determining the relative stability of X2SiSe and XSi–SeX. That is to say, our model calculations indicate that both dihalogen and dibulky substituted silaneselones are more stable than their isomeric silylene species thermodynamically and kinetically. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
