18. The Si-Si bond length of 1b was estimated to be in the range of 2.16-2.18 Å on the basis of a preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis.
19. The range of the Si=Si bond lengths of disilenes was taken from the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre database (82 examples).
20. These calculations were performed at the B3PW91/6-311+G(2df)[Si]:6-31G(d) [C,H] level of theory.
21. H = 6.27, 6.28 ppm for 1b) were comparable to the experimentally observed values (HCTH407/6-311+G(2df) [Si]:6-31G(d)[C,H]). For Gauge-Independent Atomic Orbital (GIAO) calculations on disilenes, see: Karni, M.; Apeloig, Y.; Takagi, N.; Nagase, S. Organometallics 2005, 24, 6319.

25. Thermolysis of 1a afforded small amount of unidentified byproducts, resulting in a moderate yield of 4a, while disilene 1b isomerized quantitatively to 4b.
26. A transient silylene Tbt(Mes)Si: (Tbt = 2,4,6-tris[bis(trimethylsilyl) methyl]phenyl) undergoes facile cyclization in a fashion similar to that of 5b. See: Suzuki, H.; Tokitoh, N.; Okazaki, R.; Harada, J.; Ogawa, K.; Tomoda, S.; Goto, M. Organometallics 1995, 14, 1016.
27. 2) can be proposed for the isomerization of 1, the mechanism shown here is considered to be the most reasonable because the results of the theoretical calculations reproduced well those obtained in the experimental kinetic study.
