Abstract

Abstract Trichlorosilane, HSiCl3, forms with 3,4-dimethylpyridine in aprotic solvents a crystalline l:2-compound which is stable at room temperature and readily soluble in CHCl3. Colourless crystals of the dicationic complex, [H2Si(3,4-dimethylpyridine)4]2+ 2Cl- · 6 CHCl3 (verified by X-ray structure analysis) are obtained by dismutation of HSiCl3(3,4-dimethylpyridine)2 in CHCl3 within one week at room temperature.29Si NM R indicates that SiCl4 is generated as a second product. H2SiCl2 with 2,4-dimethylpyridine as well as MeHSiBr2 with 3,5-dimethylpyridine in aprotic solvents form 1:2-compounds stable at room temperature. X-ray structure analyses in both cases establish neutral-complexes with a hexa-coordinated silicon atom
