Abstract
The donor-stabilized sila-β-lactone 1 reacts with CO2 via a remarkable reversible [2+2]-cycloaddition reaction to form the spiro-cyclic silicon carbonate derivative 2. Furthermore, photolysis of 2 under pressure of CO2 affords the first persistent SiO2 -CO2 cycloadduct 3, presenting a Si2 O4 -like structure, which is stabilized by a Lewis donor-acceptor type ligand. As predicted by theoretical calculations, in marked contrast to the thermodynamically stable SiO2 dimer, the SiO2 -CO2 mixed cycloadduct 3 is labile and readily releases CO2 .
