Abstract
© 2019 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim A cyclic (amino)metal-substituted dicoordinated silylene derivative has been synthesized and fully characterized. Of particular interest is that the N-hetero-RhI-metallacyclic silylene exhibits a distorted tetrahedral geometry around the rhodium atom and a considerably shortened Si−Rh bond (2.138 Å) compared to classical Si−Rh single bonds (ca. 2.30–2.35 Å). A theoretical investigation reveals that the geometrical deviation around the rhodium center from the classical square-planar to a tetrahedral geometry increases the π-donating and σ-accepting character of the rhodium atom, thereby efficiently stabilizing the silylene moiety.
