The silacyclobutanes and -butenes are thermally stable and can be distilled under vacuo up to temperatures of about 150°C without decomposition. The experimental results are confirmed qualitatively by semiempiric calculations at the AM-1 level and their analysis using FMO theory. The solid state structure of the silacyclobutene
