The title SiIV complex, C16H21NO3Si, is built up by a tridentate dinegative Schiff base ligand bound to a silacyclohexane unit. The coordination geometry of the pentacoordinated SiIV atom is a distorted trigonal bipyramid. The presence of the silacyclohexane ring in the complex leads to an unusual coordination geometry of the SiIV atom with the N atom from the Schiff base ligand and an alkyl-C atom in apical positions of the trigonal bipyramid. There is a disorder of the methyl group at the imine bond with two orientations resolved for the H atoms [major orientation = 0.55 (3)]. In the crystal, C—H
O interactions are found within corrugated layers of molecules parallel to the ab plane.

Special details top
Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
