The new isolabledialkylsilylene 3 bearing a bidentate alkyl substituent was synthesized. Recrystallization of silylene 3 gave yellow crystals of 3 and orange-red crystals of tetraalkyldisilene 4, a dimer of 3. In the solid state, 3 exists as a monomer with a closest distance of 6.745 Å between dicoordinate silicon atoms, while disilene 4 has a remarkably long Si═Si double bond distance of 2.252 Å
