Abstract

The cyclic alkyl(amino) carbene (cAAC) anchored silylene with two phosphinidenes was isolated as (cAAC)Si{P(cAAC)}2 (3) at room temperature, which was synthesized from the reduction of (Cl2)Si{P(cAAC)}2 (2) using 2 equiv of KC8. Compound 2 resulted from the reaction of 2 equiv of (cAAC)PK (1) with 1 equiv of SiCl4. Compounds 2 and 3 are the first examples where two terminal phosphinidenes are binding each to a silicon center characterized by single crystal X-ray structural analysis. Furthermore, the structure and bonding of compounds 2 and 3 have been investigated by theoretical methods for comparison.
