The title compound, C(14)H(14)Si, crystallizes with two almost identical mol-ecules (r.m.s. deviation = 0.080 Å for all non-H atoms) in the asymmetric unit. All atoms of the silafluorene moiety lie in a common plane (r.m.s. deviations = 0.049 and 0.035 Å for the two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit). The Si-C(meth-yl) bonds are significantly shorter [1.865 (4)-1.868 (4) Å] than the Si-C(aromatic) bonds [1.882 (3)-1.892 (3) Å]. Owing to strain in the five-membered ring, the endocyclic C-Si-C ang ...[more]
