Abstract
Oligosilylanions can easily be prepared by cleavage of a Si-SiMe3 bond with (BuOK)-Bu-t in THF, if the central silicon is stabilized by at least two - SiR3 or phenyl substituents [1]. Use of alpha,omega -alkylidene bridged oli gosilanes leads to formation of silyldianions [2]. Reaction of the dipotass ium compounds with equimolar amounts of water results in loss of trimethyls ilane accompanied by formation of cyclic silylanions.
