Description

1,3-Bis(trimethylsilyl)ethynylbenzene is a cyclic molecule that crystallizes as a white solid. It is used as a ligand in coordination chemistry. 1,3-Bis(trimethylsilyl)ethynylbenzene has been shown to bind to diphenylacetylene, which results in the formation of a complex with various vibrational parameters and spectra. This compound also has optical properties that can be characterized by its optical absorption spectrum. The crystal structure of 1,3-bis(trimethylsilyl)ethynylbenzene is composed of two fused benzene rings and one silicon atom in the center. Fluoride ions are able to bind to this molecule due to the presence of electron-withdrawing groups on the phenyl ring. Cyclic voltammetry studies have shown that 1,3-bis(trimethylsilyl)ethyn
