A DFT study on triplet ground state silylenes was reinvestigated using more precise calculation methods without an effective core potential approximation than that used in a previous study. Despite both the results of the former theoretical prediction and the recent finding of the triplet character of tri- tert -butylsilyl(triisopropylsilyl)silylene, ( t -Bu) 3 Si−Si−Si( i -Pr) 3, only bis(tri- tert -butylsilyl)silylene, ( t -Bu 3 Si) 2 Si, is calculated to have a triplet ground state.
