N,N`-Bis(trimethylsilyl)carbodiimide – structure characteristics and reactivites

Abstract

In this work results on computational modeling and calculating of the molecular and electronic structures of N,N`-bis(trimethylsiliyl)carbodiimide and of its N-methyl-substituted analog are presented. The possibility of synthesizing organosilicon oligomers based on N,N`-bis(trimethylsiliyl)carbodiimide without application of organochlorosilanes, with the use of organoalkoxy- and organoacyloxysilanes has been studied.
