Perchlorosilanes are useful precursors for the synthesis of hydrosilanes for the fabrication of electronic devices such as silicon thin-film transistors and silicon nanoparticles. For this solution process, requirements of precursors applicable to solution process are relatively low volatile and soluble in common organic solvents. In this work, the decaphenylcyclopentasilane has been obtained from the reaction of the lithium wire and dichlorodiphenylsilane. The reaction of decaphenylcyclopentasilane with lewis acid catalyst, HCl/$AlCl_3$, gives the perchlorocyclopentasilane. Decaphenylcyclopentasilane exhibits an unusual optical property. Its optical property was characterized by UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. Absorption wavelength maxima for the decaphenylcyclopentasilane was 272 nm. Decaphenylcyclopentasilane displayed an emission band at 741 nm with excitation wavelength of 272 nm.
