	abstract = {<p>Efficient Methods for Preparing Silicon Compounds is a unique and valuable handbook for chemists and students involved in advanced studies of preparative chemistry in academia and industry. Organized by the various coordination numbers (from two to six) of the central silicon atom of the reported compounds, this book provides researchers with a handy and immediate reference for any compound or properties needed in the area. Edited by a renowned expert in the field, each chapter explores a different type of compound, thoroughly illustrated with useful schemes and supplemented by additional references. Knowledgeable contributors report on a broad range of compounds on which they have published and which are already used on a broad scale or have the potential to be used in the very near future to develop a new field of research or application in silicon chemistry. Includes contributions and edits from leading experts in the field Includes detailed chemical schemes and useful references for each preparative method Organized by the coordination numbers of the central silicon atom for each compound for easy navigation Serves as a go-to primer for researchers in novel compositions of silicon matter.</p>},

	In this work, 5-SIDipp [SIDipp=1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-imidazolin-2-ylidene] (1) derived Chichibabin{\textquoteright}s hydrocarbon with an octafluorobiphenylene spacer (3) has been reported. The addition of two equivalents of 5-SIDipp with decafluorobiphenyl in presence of BF3 gives the double C-F bond activated imidazolium salt with two tetrafluoroborate anions, 2. Further reduction of 2 gives the fluorine substituted 5-SIDipp based Chichibabin{\textquoteright}s hydrocarbon, 3. Quantum chemical calculations suggested a singlet state of 3 with a singlet-triplet energy gap (?ES-T) of 3.7 kcal mol(-1), which is substantially lower with respect to the hydrogen substituted NHC-based Chichibabin{\textquoteright}s hydrocarbons (10.7 kcal mol(-1), B3LYP). As a result, the diradical character (y) of 3 (y=0.62) is also noticeably higher than the hydrogen substituted CHs (y=0.41-0.43). The ?ES-T was found to be higher in CASSCF (22.24 kcal mol(-1)) and CASPT2 (11.17 kcal mol(-1)) for 3 and the diradical character (d) is 44.6 \%.</p>
