Kinetically stabilized 1,2-dihydrodisilenes were successfully synthesized and isolated by the introduction of sterically protecting bulky aryl groups. These 1,2-dihydrodisilenes exhibit distinct Si鈺怱i double-bond character in both solution and the solid state. The Si鈥揌 bonds in these 1,2-dihydrodisilenes exhibit higher s character than those of typical 蟽4,位4-hydrosilanes. Moderate heating of these 1,2-dihydrodisilenes in solution resulted in their isomerization to the corresponding trihydrodisilanes, with an intramolecular hydrogen migration as the rate-determining step.
