Reactivity of a disilylene [{PhC(NBu(t))(2)}Si](2) toward bromine: synthesis and characterization of a stable monomeric bromosilylene.
The reaction of the disilylene [{PhC(NBu(t))(2)}Si](2) (1) with 1 equiv of bromine in toluene afforded novel monomeric bromosilylene [{PhC(NBu(t))(2)}SiBr] (2). The result shows that the Si(I)-Si(I) bond in 1 was cleaved by bromine. An X-ray structure of compound 2 has been determined.
