Abstract
The dependence was analyzed of the first ionization potentialI(Si−Si) corresponding to detachment of an electron from the σ(Si−Si) highest occupied molecular orbital on the parameters of organic (X=Me, Et, But, Ph, CH=CH2), inorganic (X=F, Cl, Br), and organosilicon (X=SiR3; R is organic radical) substituents in di-, tri-, and tetrasilanes X3SiSiX3. It was found by correlation analysis that out of the three possible effects of substituents X (the inductive, polarizability, and resonance effects), only the first two of them affect theI(Si−Si) values. This means that no conjugation between the substituent X and the radical cation center occurs in X3Xi±SiX3.
