First successful reaction of a silyl anion with hafnium tetrachloride.
Hafnium tetrachloride reacts with the tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl potassium tmen adduct (1) to form a [tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]trichlorohafnium tmen complex (2); reaction of 2 with 2,6-dimethylphenylisonitrile leads to insertion into the silicon hafnium bond (4).
