✦ Synopsis

Calculations, MNDO and HF / GED data / PE spectra / Silicocene, decamethyl-/ Silicon(I1) n-complexes Reaction of dichlorobis(pentamethylcyc1oputadienyl)silane with naphthalene-lithium, -sodium, or -potassium leads to elemental silicon and to decamethylsilimne, (MesCs)zSi (4). Compound 4 is formed as the only product in the reduction of dibromobis-@entamethylcyclopentadienyl)silane with anthracene-potassium.

condition^^.^'. To change this situation, x-complexation seemed to us to be an interesting tool. Here we describe
