1,2,3,4,5,8-Hexakis(trimethylsilyl)-1,2,3,4,5,8-hexahydronaphthalene: the First Example of Double-peri Trimethylsilyl Substitution

The crystal structure determination of the title compound, C 28 H 62 Si 6 , is the first reporting double-peri trimethylsilyl substitution. Four trimethyl groups are in axial positions, the remaining two groups are equatorial.
