Hexachlorocyclotrisiloxane (2) and octachlorocyclotetrasiloxane (4) were prepared by reaction of SiCl4 with O2 at 955 deg C.Their mass spectra are compared with those of the isoelectronic cyclophosphazenes.The vibrational spectra of 2 and 4 are very similar and closely related to that of (PNCl2)3, but clearly different from that of the puckered (PNCl2)4 molecule.The X-ray examination of 2 and 4 reveals planarity of the (SiO)n, n = 3 and 4 ring systems, with d(Si-O) on average 1.619(4) and 1.584(3) Angstroem, respectively.
