✦ Synopsis
The gas-phase molecular structures of bis(dichlorosily1)amine, (HSiCl,),NH, and bis(dichlorosilyl)methylamine, (SiHCl,),NMe, have been investigated by electron diffraction and ab initio calculations on a MP2/6-31G* level. Because the latter suggest the presence of a mixture of two conformers for each molecule, attempts were made to fit the electron diffraction data in each case by two different models, one assuming the presence of only one conformation, and another allowing for two different conformers. The principal parameters (r,) from electron diffraction for (HSiC12)2NH are (the appropriate ab initio calculated values are given in brackets [ I): r(Si-N) 171.9(2) [172.7], r(Si-C1) 204.1(1) [204.5] pm; Si-N-Si 126.5(8) [ 127.41, N-Si-C1 107.3(5) [110.8] and C1-Si-C1 106.5(3) [107.5]". For (SiHC12)2NMe: $ 3 -N ) 171.1(3) I171.51, r(Si-Cl) 204.0(9) t205.21, r(N-C) 149.7(10) [148.3] pm; Si-N-Si 124.9(13) [123.4], N-Si-C1 109.7(5) [llo.?] and Cl-Si-C1 107.1(3) [107.2]'. For (HSiCl,),NH three different conformers were found to fit the experimental data with the single-conformation model. In two of the conformers, the dichlorosilyl groups are twisted by O1 = 146.0(10)/02 = 155.2(20)' and O1 = 101.1(49)/@2 = 196.8(12)" respectively counterclockwise from the positions
