title: Structure and reactivity of a unique Y-shaped tricoordinate bis(silyl)platinum(II)-NHC complex.
abstract: Y not? A unique, three-coordinate Y-shaped bis(silyl)platinum(II) complex was isolated and characterized (see structure; C light gray, N blue, Si pink, Pt dark gray). DFT studies on a model system shed light on the nature of this unusual coordination mode for platinum(II).
