Abstract

Abstract In stabilization of the endo configuration of silatranes and germatranes, a major role is played not only by the Si (or Ge) and N atoms, but also by oxygen and other atoms of the atrane core, which is manifested in molecular orbital parameters. Calculation of the system of interacting methyltrimethoxysilane and trimethylamine shows that the energy of the system grows as the distance between the Si and N atoms is decreased from 5 to 2 Å. The ...
