Abstract

The synthesis, solid-state structure, and UV spectroscopic properties of the first-generation single-core oligosilane dendrimer MeSi[SiMe ₂Si(SiMe₃)₂Me]₂[SiMe ₂Si(SiMe₃)₃] (5) and the tethered analogue (CH₂)₄[Si(SiMe₃)₂SiMe ₂]₂Si[SiMe₂Si(SiMe₃)₃]Me (4) are reported. UV spectroscopic measurements in solution and in the solid state (diffuse reflectance) show the absorption maximum of tetramethylenetethered 4 to be shifted to wavelengths longer than those of 5, the dendrimers MeSi[SiMe₂Si(SiMe₃)₃] ₃ (6) and MeSi[SiMe₂Si(SiMe₃) ₂Me]₃ (7), and even that of the linear heptasilane Si ₇Me₁₆. This can be explained by the results of the X-ray analysis of 4 and 5, which reveal for 4 the presence of an A-D-A-D conformer, which is optimal for σ-conjugation, whereas in 5 only D-D-O-D conformers have been found.
