An X‐ray structure analysis of the adduct 1 at 100 K revealed an SiO distance of 2.27 Å, which can be interpreted in terms of a weak bonding or strong interaction. All other in‐termolecular SiO distances determined so far are distinctly larger. The reason could be the relatively high basicity of Me 2 O, which leads to the formation of a bond despite the weak acceptor strength of H 3 SiCl.
