Abstract: The molecule of the title compound, C₂₈H₂₈Si₂, occupies a special position on a centre of symmetry. It adopts an E configuration about the central C=C bond, with an Si-C=C-Si torsion angle of exactly 180°. Weak C-H hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions determine the crystal structure.
