Reaction of the dilithium pyridine-2,3-diamide 1a-Li-2 with SiCl4 and subsequent reduction of the resulting 2a with potassium or direct ring closure with GeCl2 . dioxane or SnCl2 gave the stable carbene homologues 1,3-dineopentylpyrido[b]-1,3,2 lambda(2)-diazasilole (3a), -germole (4a) and -stannole (5a). Similarly, the dilithium pyridine-3,4-diamide 1b-Li-2 and SiCl4 furnished the pyrido[c]-1,3,2 lambda(4)-diazasilole (2b). However, attempt to obtain the silylene 3b as well as the analogous germylene and stannylene failed. Ab initio quantum chemical studies of model compounds IIIa, IIIb and benzo-1,3,2 lambda(2)-diazasilole (IIIc) reveal a comparable thermodynamic stabilization, Unexpected similarities of benzo and pyrido[b] derivatives and lower kinetic stability of carbene homologues of the pyrido[c]-type (b) correlate with high symmetry of the HOMO re charge densities in the former (IIIa has a nodal plane through the N-atom) and with unsymmetrical charge distribution in IIIb. All compounds are structurally characterized by NMR and MS, the carbene homologues also by UV and 3a by photoelectron spectroscopy.
