Carbenes (R2C:), compounds with a divalent carbon atom containing only six valence shell
electrons, have evolved into a broader class with the replacement of the carbene carbon or …

A formally neutral homoaromatic diboradisilacyclobutene was prepared and structurally
characterized via the reduction of borylaminobromosilane with potassium graphite, which …

Herein, we reported the isolation of 2π-aromatic disiladiboretenes (L2Si2B2Ph2)[L= ArC (N t
Bu) 2, Ar= Ph (1), Mes (2)], which have been synthesized from the straightforward reduction …

A series of novel amidinate ligated four-coordinated boron compounds,[(Ar)-C (tBuN)
2BF2](1BF2–6BF2), were synthesised and structurally characterised (Ar= 1-phenyl, 2 …

The recently reported hypersilylsilylene PhC (N t Bu) 2SiSi (SiMe3) 3 (1) reacts with BH3, 9-
BBN, and PhBCl2 to yield the respective Lewis acid base adducts 2–4, respectively …

Phosphinimides are long known as useful ligands in transition metal chemistry, but
examples of these in low-valent silicon chemistry are rather rare. Hence, in this work, we …

Herein, we report the synthesis of a rare bis‐silylene, 1, in which two SiIIatoms are bridged
by a SiIV atom. Compound 1 contains an unusual SiII− SiIV− SiII bonding arrangement with …

Herein, we report on a facile and selective one-pot synthetic route to silicon–boron radicals.
Reduction of Br2BTip (Tip= 2, 4, 6-i PrC6H2) with KC8 in the presence of LSi-R affords LSi (t …

Herein we report stable silicon-boron radicals of composition LSi (NMe2)–B (Br) Tip (1), LSi
(NMe2)–B (I) Tip (2) LSi (tBu)–B (I) Tip (3)[L= PhC (NtBu) 2]. They were prepared in high …

This work describes that a sterically bulky o-carboranylsilylene can significantly enhance the
stability of the resultant carboranylsilylene-borane adducts. Removal of one halide from the …
