Abstract
SINDO1 calculations were performed to determine the structure and stab ility of chlorosiloxanes of the groups SinOn-1Cl2n+2,SinOnCl2n and Sin On+mCl2n-2m. A comparison of isomers and sequences reveals the preferr ed stabilization with increasing size. The most stable structures can be characterized as chains and monocyclic and oligocyclic rings. Model reactions were undertaken to understand the growth pattern of increas ing oxygen and decreasing chlorine components.
