The caesium triphosphenide Cs[tBu3SiPPPSitBu3] was accessible from the reaction of CsF with the sodium triphosphenide Na[tBu 3SiPPPSitBu3] in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature. In contrast to the preparation of tetrahydrofuran-solvated silanides M[SitBu 3] (M = Li, Na, K), our efforts to synthesize the caesium silanide Cs[SitBu3] as a tetrahydrofuran complex failed. When tBu 3SiBr was treated with an excess of caesium metal in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature, the caesium enolate Cs[OCH=CH2] and the supersilane tBu3SiH formed rather than the silanide Cs[SitBu 3]. X-Ray quality crystals of the enolate Cs[OCH=CH2] (orthorhombic, Pnma) were obtained from tetrahydrofuran at ambient temperature. In contrast to the structures of its homologues M[tBu3SiPPPSitBu 3] (M = Na, K), the caesium triphosphenide Cs[tBu 3SiPPPSitBu3] features a polymer in the solid state (orthorhombic, Cmcm).
