Abstract

Photolysis of the title compound afforded silafluorene and dibenzo-1, 2- disilacyclohexadiene as primary photoproducts. Two reactive intermediates, tetramethyldisilene and dimethylsilylene, were detected by trapping. The dimethylgermylene, derived from the germanium analog, was first observed by electronic spectra.
