Abstract

Variation of the Si–O–Si angle in siloxane compounds is a way to tune their basicity from highly hydrophobic systems at linear geometry to hydrophilic systems at small angles. This has great potential in the design of new siloxane materials with properties distinct from those of known silicones. We investigate hydrogen bonds with the siloxane linkage as an acceptor in a large range of Si–O–Si angles for the two hydrogen-bonded complexes disiloxane⋯silanol [(H₃Si)₂O⋯HOSiH₃] and disiloxane⋯water [(H₃Si)₂O⋯HOH] with free disiloxane [H₃SiOSiH₃] as reference in a quantum-mechanical ab-initio study. Geometry, electron density, and the electron localizability indicator provide several complementary indicators of hydrogen bonding which show how Si–O–Si angle variation affects the nature and strength of these unusual hydrogen bonds.

Geometric criteria for the search were: distance hydrogen⋯acceptor < sum of van der Waals radii, distance N/O⋯acceptor < 3.2 Å, angle N/O–H⋯acceptor > 130°. These criteria were chosen according to G.
