The sodium silanide tBu(2)PhSiNa is easily obtained by the reaction of sodi
um metal with tBu(2)PhSiBr at elevated temperatures in n-heptane, THF or di
butylether. An X-ray crystal structure analysis reveals, that the sodium si
lanide 3 contains chains of tBu(2)PhSiNa units with eta (6) sodium-phenyl-c
ontacts. Oxidation of tBu(2)PhSiNa with TCNE proceeds with formation of the
disilane tBu(2)PhSi-SiPhtBu(2).
