Greetings from silicon valley: Alkali metal silanides (H(3)Si)(3)Si(-)M(+) were shown to be selectively accessible for the first time by the reaction of neopentasilane Si(SiH(3))(4) with tBuOM or iPr(2)NLi. The method allows the convenient derivatization of higher silicon hydrides and provides a simple access for unprecedented systematic studies on the chemical behavior of hydropolysilanes (see scheme).
