Since the seminal discovery of phenyl azide by Grieß in 1864, a variety of organic azides (R–
N3) have been developed and extensively studied. The amenability of azides to a number of …

N-Heterocyclic silylenes (NHSis) are the silicon analogues of N-heterocyclic carbenes
(NHCs), which feature a neutral divalent silicon atom directly bonded to at least one nitrogen …

We present an approach for preparing chain-type unsaturated molecules with low oxidation
state Si (I) and Sb (I) supported by amidinato ligands that exploit to generate heavy …

Abstract Reaction of the 1, 2‐disilylene,[{ArC (NDip) 2} Si] 2 1 (Dip= 2, 6‐diisopropylphenyl,
Ar= 4‐C6H4But), with CO proceeds via insertion of CO into one Si− N bond, and Si− Si bond …

Reactions of the known amidinate stabilised 1, 2-disilylene,[{ArC (NDip) 2} Si] 21 (Dip= 2, 6-
diisopropylphenyl, Ar= 4-C6H4But) with a series of inert, unsaturated small molecule …

Herein, we describe the redox reaction of bis (germylene) PhC (N t Bu) 2Ge–Ge (N t Bu)
2CPh with different equivalents of Me3SiN3 affording two distinct products. The reaction of …

N− O σ bonds containing compounds are versatile substrates for organic synthesis under
transition metal catalysis. Their ability to react through both polar (oxidative addition …

Herein, we report the synthesis of a rare bis‐silylene, 1, in which two SiIIatoms are bridged
by a SiIV atom. Compound 1 contains an unusual SiII− SiIV− SiII bonding arrangement with …

The search for stable compounds containing an antiaromatic cyclic 4π system is a challenge
for inventive chemists that can look back on a long history. Here we report the isolation and …

Herein we report the reduction of R‐EX2 (E= P, Sb) with two equivalents of KC8 in the
presence of silylene (LSiR; L= PhC (NtBu) 2) to give Trip‐P= SiL (C6H4PPh2)(1), TerPh …
