Popis: DFT quantum chemical calculations were carried out for conformational isomers of 1-aryl-1-fluoro-5-methylquasisilatranes Ar(F)Si(OCH2CH2)2NMe (Ar = Ph (1), 4-MeC6H4 (2), 4-MeOC6H4 (3), 4-ClC6H4 (4), 3-BrC6H4 (5), 3-NO2C6H4 (6)) with a fluorine atom in the axial (isomers a) or equatorial (isomers b) position relative to nitrogen atom of the N → Si intramolecular coordination bond. The electronic effect of the axial aromatic substituent results in strengthening of this bond to a greater extent compared to its equatorial position. Relations between the N → Si bond lengths and the energies of nitrogen lone pair with σ∗Si X(ax) orbital interaction (NBO) as well as the N → Si bond energies (QTAIM) are observed in compounds 1–6.
