Synthesis and Structure of Ruthenium-Silylene Complexes:Activation of Si-CI Bonds in N-Heterocyclic Silanes

摘要

Transition metal silylene complexes-species with formal double bonds between metal and silicon atoms-have been the subject of considerable interest for many years.Although several different synthetic approaches have been employed,potentially the most general route to metal silylene complexes is the sequential addition of two groups from a tetravalent silane to a metal center.
