title: 2,3,5,6-Tetra-fluoro-1,4-bis-(trimethyl-sil-yl)benzene.
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(12)H(18)F(4)Si(2), contains two independent mol-ecules, both lying on inversion centers. The C(arene)-Si distances are significantly longer than in the analogous non-fluorinated compound. The packing of the mol-ecules results in a herringbone motif in the ac plane.
