Dr. Yun Xiong, Dr. Shenglai Yao, Prof. Dr. Shigeyoshi Inoue, Dr. Elisabeth Irran and Prof. Dr. Matthias Driess The Elusive Silyliumylidene [ClSi:]+ and Silathionium [ClSi
S]+ Cations Stabilized by Bis(Iminophosphorane) Chelate Ligand Angewandte Chemie International Edition 51
Donor–acceptor trumps: The chlorosilyliumylidene salt 2 with a three-coordinate silicon(II) atom is accessible through ligand exchange between NHC
SiCl2 and the electron-rich bis(ylide) ligand 1. The cation in 2 represents a donor-stabilized form of the elusive [ClSi:] cation and could be fully characterized, including X-ray diffraction analysis. Oxidation of 2 with elemental sulfur furnished 3 as the sole product.
