| Abstract: | Treatment of pyridine‐stabilized silylene complexes (η5‐C5Me4R)(CO)2(H)W?SiH(py)(Tsi)] (R=Me, Et; py=pyridine; Tsi=C(SiMe3)3) with an N‐heterocyclic carbene MeIiPr (1,3‐diisopropyl‐4,5‐dimethylimidazol‐2‐ylidene) caused deprotonation to afford anionic silylene complexes (η5‐C5Me4R)(CO)2W?SiH(Tsi)]HMeIiPr] (R=Me ( 1‐Me ); R=Et ( 1‐Et )). Subsequent oxidation of 1‐Me and 1‐Et with pyridine‐N‐oxide (1 equiv) gave anionic η2‐silaaldehydetungsten complexes (η5‐C5Me4R)(CO)2W{η2‐O?SiH(Tsi)}]HMeIiPr] (R=Me ( 2‐Me ); R=Et ( 2‐Et )). The formation of an unprecedented W‐Si‐O three‐membered ring was confirmed by X‐ray crystal structure analysis. |
