While alkyl‐substituted siloxanes are widely known, virtually nothing is known about perfluoroalkyl siloxanes and their congener species, the silanols and silanolates. We recently reported on the tris(pentafluoroethyl)silanide ion, [Si(C 2 F 5 ) 3 ] − , which features Lewis amphoteric character deriving from the pentafluoroethyl substituents and their strong electron‐withdrawing properties. Transferring this knowledge, we investigated the Lewis amphoteric behavior of the tris(pentafluoroethyl)silanolate, [Si(C 2 F 5 ) 3 O] − . In order to examine such Lewis amphoteric behavior, we first developed a strategy for the synthesis of the corresponding silanol Si(C 2 F 5 ) 3 OH, which readily condenses at room temperature to the hexakis(pentafluoroethyl)disiloxane, (C 2 F 5 ) 3 SiOSi(C 2 F 5 ) 3 . Deprotonation of Si(C 2 F 5 ) 3 OH employing a sterically demanding phosphazene base allows the characterization of the first example of a dimeric triorganosilanolate: the dianionic hexakis(pentafluoroethyl)disilanolate, [{Si(C 2 F 5 ) 3 O} 2 ] 2− , implies Lewis amphoteric character of the monomeric [Si(C 2 F 5 ) 3 O] −  anion.
