The title compound, 5,5′‐bis(trimethylsilylethynyl)‐2,2′‐bipyridine, C 20 H 24 N 2 Si 2 , is a trimethylsilyl‐protected dialkyne. It is a precursor in the preparation of platinum di‐yne complexes and platinum poly‐yne polymers. Such organic compounds are of interest because of the extended π‐conjugation that occurs through the hetero‐aromatic linker unit in the molecular backbone. Within the molecule, the silyl‐alkyne groups are essentially linear and the bipyridine unit is approximately planar with a dihedral angle of 5.3 (1)° between the planes.
