tert-Butyl-dimethyl-silanol hemihydrate.

ABSTRACT

The crystal structure of the title compound, C(6)H(16)OSi·0.5H(2)O, reveals an asymmetric unit containing two mol-ecules of the silanol and a single water mol-ecule. There is evidence of hydrogen bonding between the three mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The H atoms of the silanol OH groups and the water H atoms are each disordered equally over two positions.
