Abstract: The structural and bonding properties of a three-coordinate N-heterocyclic silyene (NHSi) complex of the iron(ii) amide [Fe{N(SiMe<subscript>3</subscript>)<subscript>2</subscript>}<subscript>2</subscript>] are reported. Computational studies reveal that dispersion forces between the amido SiMe<subscript>3</subscript> substituents and the isopropyl substituents on the NHSi ligand significantly enhance the stability of the complex, along with Fe-to-Si π-backbonding.
