A silanide is a chemical compound containing an anionic silicon(IV) centre, the parent ion being SiH3. The hydrogen atoms can also be substituted to produce more complex derivative anions such as tris(trimethylsilyl)silanide (hypersilyl),[1] tris(tert-butyl)silanide, tris(pentafluoroethyl)silanide, or triphenylsilanide.[2] The simple silanide ion can also be called trihydridosilanide or silyl hydride.
