Dear WorldCup,
By SiCl6, you are probably referring to the the hexachlorosilicate anion, SiCl6-- which can only exist in the presence of a suitable cation, such as potassium K+ to give potassium hexachlorosilicate or K2SiCl6. The only free chloride of silicon that I know of is the tetrachloride, SiCl4.
Best of luck,
Allan Deeds.

It's gotta be Silicon Hexachloride. The way all ionic compounds are named when there is no general name is (prefix) metalic element (prefix) non-metalic element.
