Chem., 2013, 5, 115-121), would be just as favored for Main Group silylene complexes. This result not only shows the range and applicability of the bond-strengthening back-bonding interaction, but also showcases the capacity of silylene complexes to do new chemistry, such as the cooperative activation of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">62</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6.567</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
