Stable Silicon Compounds of Unusual Valence Related to the Synthesis of Improved Polymers.

摘要

The report investigates a new type of stable silicon compounds involving 2,2'-bipyridyl. This was done to ascertain the potential of these compounds as the basis for a new class of silicon polymers. The new compounds are paramagnetic as epr and magnetic susceptibilities indicate. Syntheses,properties,structure,bonding,stabilities,and reactions are discussed for these complexes in which radical anions appear to act as ligands.
