A Generic One‐Pot Route to Acyclic Two‐Coordinate Silylenes from Silicon(IV) Precursors: Synthesis and Structural Characterization of a Silylsilylene1. Issue 2 (20th November 2012) - Protchenko, Andrey V.
Abstract Si in sight: A one‐pot, single‐step synthesis of an acyclic silylsilylene, Si{Si(SiMe3)3}{N(SiMe3)Dipp} (Dipp=2, 6‐iPr2C6H3), from a silicon(IV) starting material is reported, together with evidence for a mechanism involving alkali metal silylenoid intermediates.
