Greetings from silicon valley : Alkali metal silanides (H 3 Si) 3 Si − M + were shown to be selectively accessible for the first time by the reaction of neopentasilane Si(SiH 3 ) 4 with t BuOM or i Pr 2 NLi. The method allows the convenient derivatization of higher silicon hydrides and provides a simple access for unprecedented systematic studies on the chemical behavior of hydropolysilanes (see scheme).
