Deca-chloro-cyclo-penta-silanes coordinated by pairs of chloride anions, with different cations, but the same solvent mol-ecules.

ABSTRACT: We have determined the crystal structures of two deca-chloro-cyclo-penta-silanes, namely bis-(tetra-n-butyl-ammonium) dichloride deca-chloro-cyclo-penta-silane di-chloro-methane disolvate, 2C₁₆H₃₆N⁺·2Cl^-·Si₅Cl₁₀·2CH₂Cl₂, (I), and bis-(tetra-ethyl-ammonium) dichloride deca-chloro-cyclo-penta-silane di-chloro-methane disolvate, 2C₈H₂₀N⁺·2Cl^-·Si₅Cl₁₀·2CH₂Cl₂, (II), both of which crystallize with discrete cations, anions, and solvent mol-ecules. In (I), the complete deca-chloro-cyclo-penta-silane ring is generated by a crystallographic twofold rotation axis. In (II), one cation is located on a general position and
