Hexachlorodisiloxane is a chemical compound composed of chlorine, silicon, and oxygen. Structurally, it is the symmetrical ether of two trichlorosilyl groups, and can be synthesized via high-temperature oxidation of silicon tetrachloride: [math]\ce{ 2SiCl4{} + O2 ->[\atop{950-970\,^\circ\text{C}}] 2(SiCl3)2O{} + Cl2 }[/math]

At room temperature, it is a colorless liquid that hydrolyzes upon exposure to water to give silicon dioxide and hydrochloric acid: [math]\ce{ (SiCl3)2O + 3H2O -> 2SiO2 + 6HCl }[/math] Intense heat evinces a similar decomposition: [math]\ce{ 2(SiCl3)2O ->[\atop{\Delta}] SiO2{} + 3SiCl4 }[/math]

Reaction with antimony trifluoride gives the analogous hexafluorodisiloxane.
