The preparation of the title compound was performed according to methods described in the literature (Doi et al., 1993; van Walree et al., 1995) by reaction of p-dibromobenzene with n-butyllithium in diethyl ether followed by addition of dichlorodimethylsilane.
Hydrogen atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.93 Å for Csp2 and 0.96 for methyl. Uiso(H) = xUeq(C), where x = 1.2 for Csp2 and 1.5 for methyl.
During our work on dipolar ferrocenylsilanes (Beyer et al., 2002) we have prepared the title compound as a precursor for further syntheses. To our surprise, there were no structural data of the title compound available. The structure of bis(p-bromophenyl)dimethylsilicon has been determined to fill this gap.
Fig. 1 shows the molecular structure of the title compound and the atomic labelling scheme. It crystallizes with eight molecules in the unit cell. There are two crystallographically independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. Both silicon atoms are tetrahedrally coordinated. The angles between the benzene rings are contracted to 106.2 (1) (C9—Si1—C3) and 105.8 (1)° (C23—Si2—C17) respectively. The other bond angles at silicon are in the range 109.7 (2) to 111.3 (2)°. The Si—C bonds are in the typical range from 1.85 to 1.88 Å. The angles between the least-squares planes of the benzene rings are 80.6 (2)° for plane(C3—C8)-plane(C9—C14) and 84.0 (2)° for plane(C17—C22)-plane(C23—C28).
Bromophenyl-substituted organosilanes are of considerable interest for the preparation of organosilicon polymers (Speck, 1953; Ohshita et al., 1994; Berger et al., 1997; Kwak & Masuda, 2002a,b). These can be used as functionalized materials such as photoresistors, precursors of ceramics, and conducting or photoconducting materials (Ohshita et al., 1994). Furthermore, the title compound has been used as a synthon for the synthesis of the first silicon- and tin-containing paracyclophane (Zobel & Jurkschat, 1998). For related literature, see: Beyer et al. (2002); Doi et al. (1993); van Walree et al. (1995).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

During our work on dipolar ferrocenylsilanes (Beyer et al., 2002) we have prepared the title compound as a precursor for further syntheses. To our surprise, there were no structural data of the title compound available. The structure of bis(p-bromophenyl)dimethylsilicon has been determined to fill this gap.
Fig. 1 shows the molecular structure of the title compound and the atomic labelling scheme. It crystallizes with eight molecules in the unit cell. There are two crystallographically independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. Both silicon atoms are tetrahedrally coordinated. The angles between the benzene rings are contracted to 106.2 (1) (C9—Si1—C3) and 105.8 (1)° (C23—Si2—C17) respectively. The other bond angles at silicon are in the range 109.7 (2) to 111.3 (2)°. The Si—C bonds are in the typical range from 1.85 to 1.88 Å. The angles between the least-squares planes of the benzene rings are 80.6 (2)° for plane(C3—C8)-plane(C9—C14) and 84.0 (2)° for plane(C17—C22)-plane(C23—C28).
