Abstract

This chapter describes the synthesis and application of a novel boryl silyl amide ligand in low-oxidation state, low-coordinate group 14 chemistry. This is, in part, related to chmistry discussed in previous chapters: the synthesis of group 14 halide complexes using monodentate ligands (Chap. 2), the synthesis and reactivity of heavier alkyne analogues (Chap. 3), and the synthesis and reactivity of heavier carbene analogues (Chaps. 4 and 5). The application of this novel ligand system, however, has allowed for the isolation of the first acyclic bis(amido) silylene, tin(II) catalysed ketone hydrosilylation, and related significant discoveries, truly highlighting the importance of ligand design in such fundamental chemistry research.
