Abstract

For evaluating the net ring-size effect on the electrochemical properties of cyclic polysilanes, four perethylpolysilanes, namely octaethylcyclotetrasilane (Et₂Si)₄ (I), decaethylcyclopentasilane (Et₂Si)₅ (II), dodecaethylcyclohexasilane (Et₂Si)₆ (III) and tetradecaethylcycloheptasilane (Et₂Si)₇ (IV), were studied by cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential electrolysis. In addition, the effects of the nature of electrolyte, amount of electricity consumption and anode material on the electrolysis outcome was demonstrated for compound II.
