The novel stable organosilicon compound containing pentacoordinated silicon atom, named as (trifluorosilyl)methyl 2-methylacrylate, was synthesized and fully characterized including single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The asymmetric unit of the title compound contains two independent molecules, one of which adopting the s-cis configuration and the other has the s-trans configuration with respect to the CO and CC bonds. In the crystal, conformers form cis- and trans-dimeric pairs due to tetrel-bonding interaction and hydrogen bonds CH··· F. Energetic and geometric characteristics for these dimers were calculated by DFT methods at M06-2X/6-311G(d,p) level of theory using QTAIM analysis. The calculations in the polar medium (DMSO) for two dimeric fragments of crystal packing were performed with Onsager self-consistent reaction field method.
