title: Synthesis and characterization of an isolable base-stabilized silacycloprop-1-ylidene.
abstract: Strained but stable: An isolable silacycloprop-1-ylidene stabilized by intramolecular complexation with an iminophosphorus ylide fragment was successfully synthesized and fully characterized. The formation of this small highly strained cyclic silylene involves an unprecedented Si(IV)→Si(II) rearrangement under very mild conditions.
