The halogen substituent of the diphosphanes 1 a, b decides whether the ( E )‐ or the ( Z )‐diphosphene 2a or 2b respectively is formed upon halosilane elimination. For the first time, therefore, it was possible to carry out the directed synthesis of both isomers of a diphosphene. These interconvert in solution, the activation barrier for the ( E / Z )‐isomerization at 293 K being 25.4 kcal mol −1 . Aryl = 2,4,6‐ t Bu 3 C 6 H 2 .
