1,1,3,3-Tetra-tert-butyl-2,2-diisopropyl-4,4-diphenyl-cyclo-tetra-silane.


ABSTRACT: The molecule in the structure of the title compound, C34H60Si4, lies on a twofold rotation axis that passes through the two Si atoms, resulting in a planar cyclo-tetra-silane ring. The dihedral angle between the cyclo-tetra-silane ring and the phenyl ring is 68.20?(5)°. The Si-Si bonds [2.4404?(8) and 2.4576?(8)?Å] are longer than a standard Si-Si bond (2.34?Å) and the C-Si-C bond angle [97.07?(14)°] of the phenyl-substituted Si atom is smaller than the tetra-hedral bond angle (109.5°). These long bonds and small bond angle are favorable for reducing the steric hindrance among the bulky substituents.
