Abstract The entitled compound was synthesized and its molecular structure was determined by X-ray crystallography. Its unusual properties include the lowest energy CT band with TCNE yet observed for cyclotetrasilanes and the easiness of the decomposition of the Si4 framework on electron-impact fragmentation and thermolysis.
