Evidence for the formation of diethylsilaneselone: a reactive intermediate with a silicon–selenium double bond
Abstract
Photolysis of hexaethylcyclotrisilaselenane in the presence of hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane produces tetraethylcyclodisilaselenane and 4,4,6,6,8,8,-hexamethyl-2,3-diethyl-1,5,7,3,2,4,6,8-trioxatetrasilaselenocane; diethylsilaneselone is postulated as an intermediate.
