Abstract
Reductive halogen elimination from 1,4-dichlorooctacyclohexyltetrasilane gives octacyclohexylcyclotetrasilane (4) in high yield. The X-ray structure analysis of4 reveals a folded Si4-framework with an angle of 27.6° between the two halves of the puckered ring corresponding to a Si-Si bond lengthening tod=239.1 pm. All cyclohexyl rings assume a chair conformation.
