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.
