(/sup 31/Si)-1-silacyclopenta-2,4-diene was prepared through the reactions of recoil silicon-31 atoms with butadiene. Its identification was verified by the fact that it was catalytically hydrogenated to (/sup 31/Si)-1-silacyclopent-3-ene. (/sup 31/Si)-1-Silacyclopenta-2,4-diene is sensitive to ..gamma..-ray irradiation. It is also thermally unstable at a temperature higher than 100/sup 0/C. Possible mechanisms for its formation are considered. 5 figures, 1 table.
