Abstract

The stable silylene Si[(NCH2But)2C6H4-1,2] [abbreviated as (1) (4 equiv) with 1 equiv each of [NiCl2(PPh3)2], [Ni(cod)2], or [PtCl2(PPh3)2] in benzene affords the crystalline diamagnetic complex (2), (3), or (4), while from 1 (5 equiv) and [NiCl2(PPh3)2] the product was 3. The diversity of behavior of 1, functioning as (i) a neutral ligand, (ii) a reducing agent, and/or (iii) a source of the anionic ligand is noteworthy.
