Abstract
The zwitterionic lambda(5)Si-tetrafluorosilicates F4SiCH2NMe2H (1) and F4Si CH2NMe3 (2) behave as Lewis acids and react with [Me3NH]F (molar ratio 1:1) in aqueous solution to yield the ionic lambda(6)Si-pentafluorosilicates [M e3NH][F5SiCH2NMeH] (3) and [Me3NH][F5SiCH2NMe3] (4) respectively. These hex acoordinate silicon compounds contain singly charged lambda(6)Si-silicate a nions ([F5SiCH2NMe2H](-), [F5SiCH2NMe3](-)) with an SiF5C skeleton. Compoun ds 3 and 4 were isolated as the crystalline hydrates 3 . H2O (yield 80%) an d 4 . H2O (yield 82%) which were structurally characterized by single-cryst al X-ray diffraction. The Si-coordination polyhedra in the crystals of 3 . H2O and 4 . H2O are slightly distorted octahedra.
