Synthesis, structure, and reactions of a novel triarylsilanol with a bowl-type framework: A silanol extremely resistant to self-condensation
A novel nano-scale triarylsilanol bearing a bowl-shaped framework was synthesized, the structure of which was established by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The silanol was found to be extremely resistant to self-condensation whereas it reacted easily with appropriate molecules to give the corresponding derivatives.
