No! Calculations of the relative stabilities of Si 6 H 6 isomers give a completely different picture from what one is used to in carbon chemistry. Hexasilaprismane 1 is markedly more stable than hexasilabenzene 2 , although the resonance energy of the π‐electron system of 2 is only about 30% less than that of benzene.
