| Abstract | In this paper, we have demonstrated the unique reactivity of a previously reported disilene [(TMS)(2)N(eta(1)-Me5C5)Si=Si(eta(1)-Me5C5)N(TMS)(2)] (1) with the halides of groups 13-15, which resulted in the formation of silicon-E (E = B, Al, Ge, P) bonds. Treatment of 1 with Lewis acidic BCl3 led to the formation of a cationic boron species [Cp*BSi(Cl)(2)N(TMS)(2))][BCl3SiCl3] (2). In contrast, the reaction of 1 with BCy2Cl afforded an oxidative addition product [(TMS)(2)N(eta(1)-Me5C5)Si(BCy2)(Cl)] (3) via the insertion of a Si(II) atom into the B-Cl bond. Extending the reaction with its higher congener led to classical Lewis acid-base adducts, (TMS)(2)N(eta(1)-Me5C5)Si -> AlCl3 (4) and (TMS)(2)N(eta(1)-Me5C5)Si -> AlBr3 (5), respectively. The reaction of GeCl2 with 1 proceeded in a completely different manner and resulted in a hybrid dendrimeric compound [HGe(Si(Cl)(2)N(TMS)(2))(3)] (6), whereas, with SnCl2, it led to Cp*SnCl (7). Lastly, the reaction of Ph2PCl followed the same pattern like Cy2BCl and led to the formation of an oxidative addition product [(TMS)(2)N(eta(1)-Me5C5)Si(PPh2)(Cl)] (9) with a Si-P bond. |
