New reaction paths in silicon chemistry could be opened up by the title compound 1, in which the diphosphinomethide ligands are σ-bonded to the SiII center. Like the analogous germanium and tin compounds, 1 is pseudotrigonal-bipyramidal; remarkably, however, 1 is structurally similar to the tin compound.
