The condensation of trimethylsilylium with water and the proton affinity of trimethylsilanol

Abstract
The proton affinity (PA) of trimethylsilanol has been determined by high pressure mass spectrometry from the enthalpy change for the reaction [Formula: see text]. ΔH0 = −30.1 ± 1.9 kcal mol−1 giving PA (Me3SiOH) = 183.7 kcal mol−1. This latter value is 10 kcal mol−1 less than that of the carbon analogue, tert-butanol.
