The platinum silyl-substituted η2-disilene complex (Me3P)2Pt[Si(SiMe2(t-Bu))2]2 (4) was synthesized by the reaction of cis-(Me3P)2PtCl2 (5) with 1,2-dilithiotetrakis(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)disilane (6) in THF at −50 °C for 3 h. The X-ray structural analysis revealed that 4 can be regarded as a metalladisilacyclopropane with very weak π-complex character.
