The photolysis of octaisopropylcyclotetrasilane; evidence for the formation of hexaisopropylcyclotrisilane and tetraisopropyldisilene

Abstract
Irradiation of octaisopropylcyclotetrasilane (1) in a hydrocarbon solvent successively afforded hexaisopropylcyclotrisilane [Pri 2Si]3(2)(λmax320 nm) and tetraisopropyldisilene [Pri 2SiSiPri 2](3)(λmax 400 nm) with extrusion of di-isopropylsilanediyl (4).
