Abstract
In view of immense importance of silylenes and the fact that their properties undergo significant changes on substitution with halogens, here, we have used B3LYP/6‐311++G** level of theory to access the effects of 1–4 halogens (X = F, Cl, Br, and I) on four unprecedented sets of cyclopentasilylene‐2,4‐dienes; with the following formulas: SiC4H3X (1 X), SiC4H2X2 (2 X), SiC4HX3 (3 X), and SiC4X4 (4 X). In going down from F to I, the singlet (s)‐triplet (t) energy gap (ΔEs‐t, a possible indication of stability), and band gap (ΔEH‐L) decrease while nucleophilicity (N), chemical potential (μ), and proton affinity (PA) increase. The overall order of N, μ, and PA for each X is 2 X > 1 X > 3 X > 4 X. Precedence of 2 X over 1 X is attributed to the symmetric cross conjugation in the former. The highest and lowest N are shown by 2 I and 4 F. The trend of divalent angle () for each X is 4 X > 1 X > 3 X > 2 X. The results show that in going from electron withdrawing groups (EWGs) to electron donating groups (EDGs), the ΔEs‐t and ΔEH‐L decrease while N, μ, and PA increase. Also, rather high N of our scrutinized silylenes may suggest new promising ligands in organometallic chemistry.
