title: Structure and conformational properties of 1,3,3-trimethyl-1,3-azasilinane: gas electron diffraction, dynamic NMR, and theoretical study.
abstract: Structure and the conformational properties of 1,3,3-trimethyl-1,3-azasilinane have been studied. According to gas electron diffraction (GED), the molecule exists in a slightly distorted chair conformation with the N-Me group in equatorial position. High-level quantum chemical calculations excellently reproduce the experimental geometry. Employing variable temperature (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy down to 103 K, the conformational equilibrium could be frozen and the barrier to ring inversion determined.
