A new series of silaanthracenophanes 2-5 composed of 1,8-diethynylanthracene unit has been synthesized from silylation reactions of 1,8-di(lithioethynyl)anthracene with 1,3-dichloro-1,1,3,3-tetraalkyldisiloxanes and 1,2-dichlorotetramethyldisilane. The silaanthracenophane products 2-4 were characterized by spectroscopic methods and X-ray crystallographic analysis.
