Abstract
Tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)ethylene (1), tris(trimethylsilyl) (dimethylsilyl)ethylene and 1,2-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,2-bis(dimethylsilyl)ethylene have been prepared and spectral properties are described. ESR spectra of anion and cation radicals of 1 are also recorded, indicating a nonplanar twisted structure for 1. These crowded olefins show interesting reversible thermochromism.
