The rotational spectrum of 1,3,5-trisilapentane was observed on a chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave spectrometer and is reported. During assignment, multiple conformations of the molecule were identified in the molecular beam. Prior quantum-chemical calculations performed on the molecule show that the identified spectra correspond to the lowest three calculated energetic structures. These structures are ofC2(Conf.1),C2v(Conf.2), andC1(Conf.3) symmetry, with relative energy ordering of Conf.1 < Conf.3 < Conf.2, which is in stark contrast ton-pentane and all known silicon-substitutedn-pentane derivatives. This is found to most likely arise from the elongation of the Si–C bond and the size of the silicon atoms providing for theC2andC1structures relieving steric hindrance in comparison to that of theC2v. In theC2vandC1conformers, splitting in the spectra due to internal rotation of the −SiH3end groups of 1,3,5-trisilapentane was observed and determined. TheC2vequivalentV3values are 368.46(33) cm–1, and theC1V3values are 347.78(21) and 360.18(88) cm–1, respectively. These barriers are compared to similar species in order to help verify their veracity and are determined to be accurate based on similar molecular silyl rotors.
