Popis: Using hydrosilylation and C-C coupling reactions, three compounds with phenyl and perfluoro¬phenyl rings bridged by (CH2)3 and (CH2)2SiMe2 units were synthesized. Their solid-state structures are domi¬nated by intermolecular π-stacking interactions, primarily leading to dimeric or chain-type aggregates. Structures of the free molecules de¬termined by gas-phase electron diffraction reveal the most abun¬dant conformer to be significantly stabilized by intra¬mole¬cular π-π-interactions. For the silicon compounds structures charac¬te¬ri¬-zed by σ-π inter¬actions between a methyl and (perfluoro)-phenyl groups are next higher in energy and cannot be excluded completely by the GED experiments. C6H6(CH2)3C6F5 in contrast is composed of a single conformer. The gas-phase structures serve as reference for the evaluation of a series of (dis¬persion-corrected) quantum-chemi¬cal methods.
