Abstract: In the title compound, C₂₂H₃₄Si₂, the two independent molecules are closely similar. The reduced rings show a flattened twist conformation. Several features of [2.2]paracyclophane strain (e.g. lengthened bridge bonds) are apparent; an exception is furnished by the normal sp² values of the angles at the bridgehead atoms of the reduced rings.
