Abstract
The meso form of (RMeSiOH)2 [R = Si(SiMe3) 3] (2) was synthesized exclusively by hydrolysis of a diastereomeric mixture of (RMeSiCl)2 (1). The novel cyclic metal disiloxides (E)-(RMeSiO)2Ti(OEt)2 (3) and [(Z)-(RMeSiO) 2]2Zr • HNEt2(4) are readily prepared from the reaction of meso-2 with Ti(OEt)4 and Zr(NEt2) 4, respectively. The results of X-ray structure analyses reveal complexes 3 and 4 to be strained five-membered ring compounds forming a dimeric structure and an adduct with diethylamine.
