Abstract
NBO scheme including second-order perturbation analysis has shown that the major orbital stabilizing interactions are between the chlorine lone pair (nÏ)Cl and the low-lying ÏSi-C2â and ÏSi-C5â antibonding orbitals. It was found that remote ÏSi-C â ÏC-Hâ interactions are stabilized by 4.4 kcal molâ1 and contribute to the stabilization of the C2 conformer in DCSCP. Deletion analysis was performed using various deletion algorithms like NOSTAR, NOVIC, NOGEM (see text). The stabilization energy for the C2 conformer resulting from the difference of the non-Lewis energy E(NL)C2 - E(NL)Cs was 7.1 kcal molâ1. Similar analyses using the same quantum mechanical procedures mentioned above have been conducted to study silacyclopentane (SCP), 1,1-difluorosilacyclopentane (DFSCP), and 1,1-dibromosilacyclopentane (DBSCP).
