Molecular structure of sila-heterocycles

Abstract

The present review provides a comprehensive survey on the molecular structure of sila-heterocyclic compounds (silacyclopropanes, silacyclobutanes, silacyclopentanes, silacyclohexanes and derivatives with larger rings, as well as compounds with fused and unsaturated heterocycles). In a lot of cases the heterocycles include also heteroatoms other than silicon, however, all sila-heterocycles under consideration contain only Si-C bonds.
