A Stable N-Heterocyclic Silylene with a 1,1'-Ferrocenediyl Backbone.

ABSTRACT: The N-heterocyclic silylene [{Fe(η⁵ -C₅ H₄ -NDipp)₂ }Si] (1DippSi, Dipp=2,6-diisopropylphenyl) shows an excellent combination of pronounced thermal stability and high reactivity towards small molecules. It reacts readily with CO₂ and N₂ O, respectively affording (1DippSiO₂ )₂ C and (1DippSiO)₂ as follow-up products of the silanone 1DippSiO. Its reactions with H₂ O, NH₃ , and FcPH₂ (Fc=ferrocenyl) furnish the respective oxidative addition products 1DippSi(H)X (X=OH, NH₂ , PHFc). Its reaction with H₃ BNH₃ unexpectedly results in B-H, instead of N-H, bond activation, affording 1DippSi(H)(BH₂ NH₃ ). DFT result
