without cis/trans isomers. 1,1,3,3-Tetrakis(dimethylaminomethyl-
phenyl)cyclosiloxane 6 as a model compound was synthesized
Å) bonds, possibly due to the coordination of the N2 atom. The
structure shows a distorted trigonal bipyramid geometry, of which
three atoms, C1, C10 and O2, construct a deformed trigonal plane
(angles: N2-Si1-C1, 76.75(6)ꢀ; N2-Si1-C10, 71.58(6)ꢀ; N2-Si1-O2,
74.41(5)ꢀ) and two atoms, N2 and O1, occupy axial positions. The
distortion along the axial direction is demonstrated by the
N2ꢁSi1ꢁO1 angle of 175.54(6)ꢀ. The sum of internal angles in the 6-
membered ring is almost 720ꢀ (718.4ꢀ) showing only a small devi-
ation from planarity.
from the reaction of disiloxane-1,3-diol
5 with dimethyldi-
chlorosilane. Compound 6 was isolated as colorless crystals in 83%
yield by recrystallization from cosolvent (n-hexane:diethyl
ether ¼ 1:1) (Scheme 2).
The structure of 6 bearing pentacoordinate silicon atoms was
characterized by X-ray crystallography (Table 1). The nitrogen (N2)
atoms are situated 2.892 Å from the silicon atom which is similar to
the normal coordination distance of 2.8 Å [4], while the nitrogens
(N1) do not coordinate to Si in the condensed phase (Fig. 1). Inter-
estingly, our result for the coordination mode of amino groups toSi is
somewhat different from other examples: silicon atoms in cyclo-
tetrasiloxane [(Me)(C6H4CH2NMe2-2)-SiO]4 were tetra-coordinated
[14] and silicon atoms in cyclodisiloxane [(C6H4CH2NMe2-2)2SiO]2
were hexa-coordinated [15]. The Si1-O1 bonds (1.6502(7) Å) which
are located opposite to the amino groups (N2), are slightlyelongated
in comparisonwith the Si1-O2 (1.6373(11) Å) and Si2-O2 (1.6346(11)
Thermal and base-catalyzed ring-opening polymerizations are
now being applied to the synthesized cyclosiloxanes.
