Abstract
Decaisopropyl-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptasilane was synthesized by oxidat ion of decaisopropylbicyclo[2.2.0]hexasilane with m-chloroperbenzoic a cid, and its structure was determined by X-ray crystallography. The co mpound shows unusual properties in the UV spectrum due to the interact ion of the n orbital of the oxygen atom and the Si-Si sigma bonds. The compound also shows far stronger fluorescence than the bicyclic ladde r polysilane.
