Because of the large number and difficult separation of conformers of saturated AnX2n+ 2 chains longer than n) 4, 1, 2 measurements on an individual conformer in solution are rare. Chain conformation may affect its electronic structure, as σ bond delocalization is sensitive3-5 to perivalent6 interactions, eg, in polysilanes. 7 We compare the temperature-dependent photophysics of a permethylated hexasilane (1) constrained to the all-anti form by racking on a transparent [2] staffane “Tinkertoy” 8 rod9, 10 with that of the free chain conformer mixture, Si6-Me14 (2). Both show dual fluorescence, assigned to excited state bond-stretch isomerism.The racked hexasilane 111 (Figure 1), 12 obtained from Cl (SiMe2) 6Cl13 and [2] staffane-3, 3′-dithiol10 (Scheme 1, cyclization yield 24%), has an unstrained fully stretched silicon chain [9.79 Å from Si (1) to Si (6)]. The Si-Si bond lengths (2.345-2.355 Å), SiSiSi valence (110.8-113.9), and SiSiSiSi dihedral angles (162.5, 178.0, 177.4) meet expectations for the all-anti form. 5 MM214 calculations yielded only this low-energy conformation for 1 but many conformations for 2.
