Tetrakis(2-methoxy-5-pyridyl)silane

O. Saied, T. Maris, M. Simard and J. D. Wuest

Abstract: The title compound, C₂₄H₂₄N₄O₄Si, crystallizes from propionic acid-hexane to produce a close-packed structure with no included guests. In contrast, crystallization of the closely related tetrakis(1,2-dihydro-2-oxo-5-pyridyl)silane under similar conditions is directed by hydrogen bonding of the pyridinone groups to yield an open diamondoid network, which is filled by a combination of interpenetration and inclusion of guests.
