A Quantum Chemical Study of Silicon-Substituent Bonds in Three-Coordinated Silicon Compounds

详细

Spatial and electronic structures of three-coordinated silicon molecules are calculated within MP2/6-311G(2d,p) and HF/6-311++G(3df,3pd) methods using the PC GAMESS-Firefly software package. AIM and NBO methods are used to determine main characteristics of silicon-substituent bonds in these molecules. Topologically, Si-C, Si-N, Si-Cl, and Si-O bonds may be characterized as “intermediate” bonds, and Si-Si bonds are characterized as covalent bonds.
