• (CH3)(2)Si=Si: cycloaddition reaction
• potential energy profile

The mechanism of the cycloaddition reaction of forming a silicic bis-heterocyclic compound between singlet state (CH3)(2)Si=Si: and ethene has been investigated with the CCSD(T)//MP2/6-31G* method. From the potential energy profile, it can be predicted that the reaction has one dominant reaction pathway. The presented rule of this dominant reaction pathway that the 3p unoccupied orbital of Si: in (CH3)(2)Si=Si: and the pi orbital of ethane forming a pi -> p donor-acceptor bond, resulting in the formation of a three-membered ring intermediate (INT1); Then, INT1 isomerizes to a four-membered ring silylene (P1), which driven by ring-enlargement effect; Due to sp (3) hybridization of Si: atom in the four-membered ring silylene (P1), P1 further combines with ethene to form a silicic bis-heterocyclic compound (P2).
