Silyl-containing tetraphenylsilole, 1,1-bis(trisilyl)tetraphenylsilole, has been synthesized from the reaction of dichlorotetraphenylsilole and dichlorotrisilane and characterized by using NMR spectroscopy. Bis(trisilyl)tetraphenylsilole exhibits an unusual optical property and its optical property was characterized by UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. Absorption wavelength maxima of bis(trisilyl)tetraphenylsilole was 380 nm. Bis(trisilyl)tetraphenylsilole displayed an emission band at 530 nm with an excitation wavelength of 380 nm.
