Journal ArticleDOI
Conformational effects in UV absorption spectra of tetrasilanes
TL;DR: In this paper, a new third transition is found between the two previously known singlet transitions, and the transition energies are nearly independent of the dihedral angle, while intensities vary widely.
Journal ArticleDOI
σ Bonds: Electronic structure, photophysics, and photochemistry of oligosilanes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors address the intrin- sically cyclic nature of σ delocalization and its dependence on chain length and conforma- tion, both in terms of theory and spectroscopic experiments, from the simplest disilane chromophore to the spectral properties of individual conformers of permethylated hep- tasilane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conformational Effects in Photoelectron Spectra of Tetrasilanes
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the SiSiSiMe2)4(CH2)n and decamethyltetrasilane Si4Me10 (5) can be used within a family of closely related structures and that measurements of photoelectron spectra of 1−5 permit the construction of an experimental counterpart to the orbital energy correlation diagram for the syn−anti conformational transformation in tetrasilanes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic circular dichroism of peralkylated tetrasilane conformers
TL;DR: In tetrasilanes 5 and 6, MCD reveals the very weak transition that has been predicted to be buried under the first intense peak and to which the anomalous thermochromism of 6 and other short-chain oligosilanes has been attributed.
