2,2-Bis[3,5-bis(dimethylamino)phenyl]-1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyltrisilane

Abstract

The title compound, C26H48N4Si3, was synthesized by the reaction of 2,2-dichlorotrisilane with 3,5-bis(dimethylamino)phenyllithium. In the molecule, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 57.57 (7)° and the Si—Si—Si bond angle is 110.08 (2)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked via an SiC–H...π(aryl) interaction, forming a chain along the c-axis direction.
