Abstract
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C14H22N2O2Si2, contains one half of the mol-ecule, which is completed by inversion symmetry. The cyclo-hexa-2,5-diene ring is exactly planar and reflects the bond-length distribution of a pair of located double bonds [1.3224 (14) Å] and two pairs of single bonds [1.5121 (13) and 1.5073 (14) Å]. The tetra-hedral angle between the sp (3)-C atom and the two neighbouring sp (2)-C atoms in the cyclo-hexa-2,5-diene ring is enlarged by about 3°.
