The structure of 1,1,3,3-tetrachloro-1,3-disilacyclobutane, (1) is confirmed by its infrared and Raman spectra.A planar structure for the four-membered ring has been established from frequency and intensity calculations of the infrared- and Raman-active vibrations.The infrared and Raman spectra of (1) were recorded in the solid state and by means of matrix isolation techniques.The results obtained lead to a reliable assignment of the observed bands to calculated frequencies.
