The formation of a 1,4-disilabenzene and its isomerization into a disilabenzvalene derivative

Dalton Trans. 2019 Jun 25;48(25):9053-9056. doi: 10.1039/c9dt01322a.

Abstract

A stable 1,4-disilabenzene was generated from the reaction of a stable disilyne with 3-hexyne. Its photochemical isomerization afforded the corresponding disilabenzvalene, which was structurally characterized by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
