Abstract

A hydrogen-bridged bis(silylene) complex, which can be viewed as a snapshot of a transition state for 1,3-hydrogen migration, was isolated, and its unprecedented WSi2H four-membered-ring structure with a short diagonal Si-Si distance was revealed by X-ray crystallography. NMR studies including determination of the W-Si, Si-Si, and Si-H coupling constants and theoretical calculations suggest that a novel multicenter bond is formed in the WSi2H system, in which the bridging hydrogen takes on a hydridic nature.
