Intramolecular Base Stabilization of SiN and SiP Compounds and Related Transition‐Metal Silanediyl Complexes

The high activity of low-coordinated silicon compounds can be effectively reduced by intramolecular base stabilization: thus the silane imine 1 can be distilled at 175°C/2 × 10−2 torr without dimerization, the silaphosphene 2 can be sublimed at 220°C/10−2 torr, and the silanediyl complexes 3 and 4 can be recrystallized from acetone.
