New silicon–nickel complexes: bis(substituted silyl)bipyridylnickel(II)
Abstract
Two bis(substituted silyl)bipyridylnickel(II) complexes have been prepared by the reaction of diethyl(bipyridyl)nickel(II) with HSiCl3 or HSiMeCl2, which react with HCl and DCl to form, respectively, the corresponding hydrosilanes and deuteriosilanes.
