Abstract

The molecular geometry of 1‐fluorosilatrane was optimized fully by restricted Hartree–Fock (HF) calculations using the 3‐21G, 3‐21G(d) and 6‐31G(d) basis sets, with the aim of locating the positions of the local minima on the energy hypersurface. The optimized geometries were compared with available experimental (X‐ray and ED) and semiempirical data. The ab initio calculations using polarized basis sets are in good agreement with those of previously reported semiempirical calculations, giving a slightly longer equilibrium SiN distance (∼ 256 pm) in the case of the endo minimum. However, the exo minimum predicted by the semiempirical methods is not supported. There was no experimental evidence for the existence of this exo minimum, and the present ab initio calculations suggest that it is highly unstable. There is considerable disagreement among the experimental results in the CN and CC bond lengths in various silatranes, their differences being as large as 13 pm. The present calculations predict that these differences may appear because the silatrane skeleton is flexible with low‐energy, large‐amplitude internal motions which introduce considerable uncertainties into the position of ring carbon atoms. © 1994 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The conformational characteristics of allylamine were investigated by the ab initio STO-~G basis set. The results indicate that the molecule exists in a number of stable conformations through rotations about the CC-NH and CC-CN bonds. The TE ( &u~-CCNLP, LP representing lone-pair electrons, and ecli
