Abstract
1.2-Dilithiotetrakis(trialkylsilyl)disilanes [(R3Si)(2)SiLi](2) (R3Si = t-B uMe2Si and i-Pr2MeSi) were prepared as stable off-white powder by the reduc tion of the corresponding tetrakis(trialkylsilyl)disilenes with lithium in THF. The 1,2-dilithiodisilanes reacted with water, iodomethane, and chloros ilanes to give the corresponding disubstituted products in high yields.
