Crystal structures, Hirshfeld atom refinements and Hirshfeld surface analyses of tris-(4,5-di-hydro-furan-2-yl)methyl-silane and tris-(4,5-di-hydro-furan-2-yl)phenyl-silane.

The title compounds, C(13)H(18)O(3)Si (1) and C(18)H(20)O(3)Si (2), represent functional-izable di-hydro-furan-ylsilanes, which permit substitution by a variety of nucleophiles. The crystal structures of 1 and 2 display weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions (qu-anti-fied by Hirshfeld surface analysis), leading to a two-dimensional supra-molecular network for 1 and a one-dimensional supra-molecular network for 2. The crystal structures of 1 and 2 were refined both on the basis of the independent atom model (IAM) and the Hirshfeld atom refinement (HAR) approach, and the results are comparatively discussed.
