Abstract
Using X-ray diffraction, we have observed flattening of the six-membered ring in the octamethyl-1,4-dioxacyclohexasilane molecules. According to the results of a quantum-chemical calculation [B3LYP/6-311+G(d)], this flattening is due to the low barrier to hindered internal rotation about the Si-O bonds.
