Abstract
(Figure Presented) Silylene Complexes Hydrogens make a difference: The first 14-electron bis(silylene)palladium (A) and 12-electron bis(silyl)palladium complexes (B) are synthesized from a stable dialkylsilylene (see picture; gold: Pd; dark blue: Si; light blue: C; magenta: H). The remarkable difference between the L-M-L angles of these two complexes is rationalized by applying the Walsh diagram.
