Can silylenes rival transition metal systems in bond-strengthening π-back donation? A computational investigation
Keyword(s):
Full quantum chemical calculations with density functional theory (DFT) show that bond-strengthening back-donation to a π-diborene, recently discovered for transition metal systems (Braunschweig and co-workers, Nat. Chem., 2013, 5, 115–121), would be just as favored for Main Group silylene complexes.
