Tetramesityldisilene adopts a trans-bent geometry in the crystal, with an Si![[double bond, length half m-dash]](https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e006.gif)
Si bond length of 216.0 pm; two of the cis aromatic rings are only slightly twisted relative to the approximate plane of the two silicon and four neighbouring carbon atoms, while the other two rings are nearly perpendicular to this plane.
