Abstract

The first ionic dissociation of the Si–Cl bond in neutral hexacoordinate silicon complexes is reported. An equilibrium reaction between the ionic siliconium chloride and its neutral precursor (dissociation-recombination) is observed. The population ratio can be controlled by temperature or by replacement of the chloro ligand by a triflate group. The reaction enthalpy and entropy of the dissociation are both negative, suggesting that solvent organization facilitates dissociation at low temperature.
