Bis[N,N'-diisopropylbenzamidinato(-)]silicon(II): a silicon(II) compound with both a bidentate and a monodentate amidinato ligand.
Well looked-after: reductive HCl elimination of the λ(6)-silicon(IV) complex 1 leads to the λ(3)-silicon(II) species 2, a novel type of donor-stabilized silylene. Reaction of 2 with [W(CO)(6)] and with I(2) yields the λ(5)-silicon(II) complex 3 and the λ(6)-silicon(IV) complex 4, respectively.
