Vm. Gunko et al., ELECTRONIC-STRUCTURE AND REACTIVITY OF THE ORGANOSILICON COMPOUNDS ATINTERACTIONS WITH SILICA SURFACES, ACH, models in chemistry, 131(5), 1994, pp. 561-570
The series of the organosilicon compounds (OSC) Me(4-n)SiX(n) (X=Cl, B
r, I, N-3, CN, NCO, NCS, NMe(2), OSiMe(3); Me=CH3; n=1-4 for X=Hal and
n=1 for the rest) were calculated by the AM1 method. A comparison bet
ween electronic, structural parameters and activation energies (E(doub
le dagger) of the OSC reactions with the silica surfaces was carried o
ut. It was obtained that the best correlations between the E(double da
gger) and OSC electron affinity (EA) or their E(LUMO) values are obser
ved and a conclusion about frontier orbital control of these reactions
was made.
