In the title salt, (C(16)H(36)N)[Fe(C(3)H(9)OSi)(4)], the cation contains a central N atom bonded to four n-butyl alkyl groups in a tetra-hedral arrangement, while the anion contains a central Fe(III) atom tetra-hedrally coordinated by four trimethyl-silanolate ligands.

The hydrolysis and condensation reactions of monomeric alkoxysilanes and organylalkoxysilanes utilized in sol-gel processing are reviewed. Both reactions occur by acid or base-catalyzed bimolecular displacement reactions. The acid-catalyzed mechanisms are preceded by protonation of OH or OR substituents attached to Si, whereas under basic conditions hydroxyl or silanolate anions attack Si direc...

The binuclear title complex, [Zn(2)(C(22)H(28)N(3)O)(2)(C(3)H(9)OSi)(2)], has a crystallographic imposed centre of symmetry. The Zn(II) atom is coordinated by three O and one N atom from one 2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4,6-di-tert-pentyl-phenolate ligand and two bridging trimethyl-silanolate anions in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. The dihedral angle between the benzotriazole ring system and t...

In the title compound, [Mo(C6H18NSi2)(C3H9OSi)2N], the Mo(VI) cation is located on a mirror plane and is coordinated by a nitride anion, a 1,1,1-trimethyl-N-(tri-methyl-sil-yl)silanaminate anion and two tri-methyl-silanolate anions in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry; the N atom and two Si atoms of the 1,1,1-trimethyl-N-(tri-methyl-sil-yl)silanaminato anionic ligand are also located on the mir...

Derivatives of an antifungal agent that targets the β-(1,3)-D-glucan synthase, papulacandin D, were synthesized and tested for activity. The papulacandin D structure contains a challenging benzannulated spiroketal unit, which is introduced in a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of a glycal silanolate and an aryl iodide followed by an oxidative spiroketalization. Four different variant...

The tris(pentafluoroethyl)silanol, Si(C2F5)3OH, flashes out of the shadows silanol derivatives in cover image, paving way to its disiloxane and disilanolate. Oxidation tris(pentafluoroethyl)silane, Si(C2F5)3H, with NO2 provides which readily condenses (C2F5)3SiOSi(C2F5)3. Deprotonation situ generated Si(C2F5)3OH yields disilanolate [{Si(C2F5)3O}2]2− underlining formally Lewis amphoteric charact...

We report the first total synthesis of samroiyotmycin A (1), a C2-symmetric 20-membered anti-malarial macrodiolide isolated from Streptomyces sp. The convergent synthetic strategy orchestrates bisalkyne fragment-assembly using an unprecedented Schöllkopf-type condensation on substituted β-lactone and ambitious late-stage one-pot alkyne cross metathesis–ring-closing metathesis (ACM–RCAM) reactio...
