Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00043a020

Results of low-temperature (130 K) crystal structure analyses for seven β-trimethylsilyl-substituted cyclohexylnitrobenzoate esters are reported.For those molecules (three) with the Si-C and C-O bonds antiperiplanar the C-O bond lengths are increased by 0
