Abstract: | The silyl-substituted silylene-NHC complex bis(tri-tert-butylsilyl)silylene-(1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene) ((t)Bu(3)Si)(2)Si:←NHC(Me), 2] was synthesized and isolated as air- and moisture-sensitive orange crystals by reductive debromination of the dibromosilane ((t)Bu(3)Si)(2)SiBr(2) (1) with 2.0 equiv of KC(8) in the presence of NHC(Me). In addition, the silylene-NHC complex 2 cleanly underwent one-electron oxidation with 1.0 equiv of Ph(3)C(+)·Ar(4)B(-) (Ar(4)B(-) = tetrakis4-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl]borate) in benzene to afford the NHC-stabilized silylene radical cation ((t)Bu(3)Si)(2)Si←NHC(Me)](?+)·Ar(4)B(-) (3). The radical cation 3 was isolated as air- and moisture-sensitive yellow crystals and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, which showed that 3 has a planar structure with a π-radical nature. |
