Happy to share our second #OpenAccess article this week on "On-demand switching from mono-silylene to bis-silylene to access mono-, di- and mixed coinage metal complexes" out now in @chemicalscience.rsc.org: doi.org/10.1039/D5SC...
On-demand switching from mono-silylene to bis-silylene to access mono-, di- and mixed coinage metal complexes
Recently, we discovered that silaiminyl-silylene, [LSi–Si(NDipp)L] (L = PhC(NtBu)2, Dipp = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl), can be converted from a mono-silylene to bis-silylene by using Lewis acids. This reve...
