The title compound was synthesized by a Wurtz-type condensation of dichlorotetramethyldisilane and trichloromethylsilane under selected conditions.Isolation from a mixture of several other permethylated cyclic, catenated and cage oligosilanes was achieved by RP-HPLC and RP-MPLC methods.ESR-investigations upon chemical reduction were carried out at different temperatures.Reactivity is shown to be distincly different to that of medium-sized monocyclic permethyloligosilanes.The isomeric bi(nonamethylcyclopentasilanyl) was also prepared and pathways to other oligocyclic methylsilanes are shown, starting from monofunctional cyclopentasilanes.
