Abstract

The vapour produced upon mild heating of hexa-tert-butyldisilane (superdisilane) has been studied by gas electron diffraction and ab initio molecular orbital calculations; the disilane is not observed in the vapour, and the observed radical structure is not the lowest energy structure predicted ab initio.
