An ab initio study of the mechanism of formation of a silicic bis-heterocyclic compound from silylenesilylene (H2Si=Si:) and ethene

Abstract

The mechanism of the cycloaddition reaction between singlet state silylenesilylene (H2Si=Si:) and ethene in which a silicic bisheterocyclic compound is formed was investigated using the CCSD(T)//MP2/6-31G

Keywords
