Low-temperature Raman study of bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene

Low temperature Raman spectra of a known catalyst bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene (BTMSAC) were recorded in temperature interval from 323 K to 10 K. Below melting point which occurs at 276 K BTMSAC crystallizes in P21/c space group with Z=2. Altogether six phonons are expected below 100 cm-1, together with two internal modes linear angle bending at 40 cm-1 and Si(CH3)3 torsion which is practically free in liquid, but hindered in polycrystalline state [1]. Above 100 cm-1 there is a degenerate linear bending mode at 127 cm-1, three modes (SiC3 sym. def. mode, CH3 torsion A and B type [1], and CH3 sym. torsion) at 175 cm-1, three internal modes at 216 cm-1 (two SiC3 deformation, and one degenerate CH3 torsion). It is interesting to note that the triple stretching vibration occuring at 2108 cm-1 is asymmetric in crystalline state, the low wavenumber side of the bandwidth being considerably larger than the high wavenumber part of the asymmetrically constructed Lorentzian [2].
