Abstract Ab initio calculations on the parent hexasilaprismane (2) and its less stable valence isomers hexasilabenzene (1) and hexasila Dewarbenzene (3) have been performed. Calculated transition structures for the interconversion of the isomers indicate kinetic instability of the isomers1 and3.Ab initio (Cl(S) calculations on the S1 photochemistry of the isomers explain the features of the recently observed UV spectra.
