Probing the non-innocent nature of an amino-functionalised β-diketiminate ligand in silylene/iminosilane systems

Ring contraction reactions in electron-rich amino-Nacnac silylene complexes are driven by electron releasing and sterically unencumbered silicon-bound substituents.

Aminolysis of bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amido]-manganese, -iron, and -cobalt for the synthesis of mono- and bis-silylene complexes

Mono- and bis-silylene metal complexes may be synthesized in high yield from M{N(SiMe3)2}2 and PhC(NtBu)2SiHCl2.

2-Pyridone-stabilized iridium silylene/silyl complexes: structure and QTAIM analysis

An example of chelate-stabilized iridium-silylene complexes.

Hydrogen-bridged bis(silylene) complexes of ruthenium and iron: synthesis, structures and multi-centre bonding interactions at the M–Si–H–Si four-membered ring

Ruthenium and iron complexes featuring a MSi2H four-centre bonding interaction were synthesized and the interaction was evaluated experimentally and theoretically.
