Stable Heavier Carbene Analogues

TL;DR: The early silylene research was concerned largely with comparing the chemistry of the dihalosilylenes with that of carbenes, so it might be difficult to isolate metallylenes as stable compounds under ambient conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lewis Base Stabilized Dichlorosilylene

TL;DR: The synthesis of the first basestabilized dichlorosilylene that is stable at room temperature, LSiCl2 is reported, which is quite similar or close to those of unstable examples, such as SiCl2.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Chemistry of Aluminum(I), Silicon(II), and Germanium(II)

TL;DR: Although tetrameric Al(I) compounds have been known for a long time, the monomeric carbenes are very recent entrants in Al-I chemistry as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

A stable two-coordinate acyclic silylene.

TL;DR: Simple two-coordinate acyclic silylene species, SiR(2), can be synthesized which is stable in the solid state up to 130 °C and undergoes facile oxidative addition reactions with dihydrogen and with alkyl C-H bonds, thus demonstrating fundamental modes of reactivity more characteristic of transition metal systems.

Stable silylenes: synthesis, structure, reactions

TL;DR: Silylenes, R2Si as mentioned in this paper, are the silicon counterparts to carbenes of organic chemistry and play an even more important role in silicon chemistry than carbon chemistry, and are key intermediates in many thermal and photochemical reactions of organosilicon compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis, structures and reactions of new thermally stable silylenes.

TL;DR: In this article, a new series of stable but reactive bis(amino)silylenes, derived from the N,N′-dineopentyl-1,2-phenylenediamido ligand RC6H3[(CH2But)]2, have been prepared by reductive elimination from RC6Cl2 and characterised by NMR spectroscopy and for 1a X-ray crystallography.
