Notes:
Hexacoordinate silicon has been claimed to occur in bis(8-dimethylamino-naphth-1-yl)silanes on the basis of X-ray data and NMR spectra. Very much the same effects are shown by a bis(8-dimethylamino-naphth-1-yl)carbinol, pointing to essentially the same bonding in the Si and C compounds. Faced with the choice that either the carbon in the carbinol is hexacoordinate, too, or that the silicon in the silanes is, in fact, tetracovalent, we prefer the latter conclusion.
