NHC-stabilized silyl-substituted silyliumylidene ions†
Abstract
The first silyl-substituted silyliumylidene ions are reported. The scope of a previously described convenient one-step procedure for the preparation of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) stabilized silyliumylidene ions via dehydrochlorination from a Si(IV) precursor with NHCs is expanded to silyl-based substituents as well as aryl substituents with reduced steric bulk.
