Carbene‐Stabilized Disilicon as a Silicon‐Transfer Agent: Synthesis of a Dianionic Silicon Tris(dithiolene) Complex.

Reaction of carbene‐stabilized disilicon (1) with the lithium‐based dithiolene radical (2.) affords the first dianionic silicon tris(dithiolene) complex (3). Notably, the formation of 3 represents the unprecedented utilization of carbene‐stabilized disilicon (1) as a silicon‐transfer agent. The nature of 3 was probed by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, and DFT computations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
