Abstract
[GRAPHICS] The photochemical reaction of disilirane with C-60 in benzonitrile affords the adduct of disilirane and benzonitrile as a bis-silylated product. In th is reaction, C-60 serves as a sensitizer. The results are reasonably accoun ted for by a novel metal-free bis-silylation of an unsaturated compound via a photoinduced electron-transfer process.
