title: Tetrakis(1-naphthylamino)silane and its tetrahydrofuran trisolvate.
abstract: In both title structures, C(40)H(32)N(4)Si and C(40)H(32)N(4)Si.3C(4)H(8)O, the angles around the Si atom deviate significantly from the tetrahedral value [104.34 (7)-116.63 (7) degrees in the nonsolvate and 99.91 (15)-116.85 (15) degrees in the solvate]. The amino H atoms in the solvated structure are involved in hydrogen bonding with two of the tetrahydrofuran solvent molecules.
