Crystal structures and Hirshfeld surface analyses of bis(4,5-dihydrofuran-2-yl)dimethylsilane and (4,5-dihydrofuran-2-yl)(methyl)diphenylsilane

Abstract

The title compounds, C10H16O2Si (1) and C17H18OSi (2), are classified as dihydrofurylsilanes, which show great potential as building blocks for various functionalized silanes. They both crystallize in the space group P\overline{1} in the triclinic crystal system. Analyses of the Hirshfeld surfaces show packing-determining interactions for both compounds, resulting in a polymeric chain along the [011] for silane 1 and a layered-interconnected structure along the b-axis direction for silane 2.
