Resumo (PT):
The molecule of the title compound, C23H40O4Si2, features an approximate non-crystallographic C2 symmetry axis. The aldehyde group is disordered over two positions with similar occupancies. The geometry of the isolated molecule was studied by ab initio quantum mechanical calculations employing a molecular orbital Hartree–Fock method. The calculations reproduce well the equilibrium geometry but slightly overestimate the value of the Si—O bond lengths of the trioxadisilepine ring.
