The title compound, C42H42O7Si2, was obtained as a by-product from the reaction of (p-Tol-O)3SiCl with [PhC(S)S]2Mg·2THF (p-Tol is p-tolyl and THF is tetrahydrofuran). The molecule has symmetry and is an example of a compound with an Si–O–Si valence angle of 180°. The distribution of this angle within disiloxanes is briefly described and discussed.
