for protic and hydridic E-H bonds (N-H/O-H, Si-H/B-H, respectively). In the case of ammonia (and water, albeit more slowly), E-H oxidative addition can be shown to be followed by reductive elimination to give an N- (or O-)borylated product. Thus, in stoichiometric fashion, redox-based bond cleavage/formation is demonstrated for a single main group metal center at room temperature. From a mechanistic
The reaction of the only known room-temperature-stable, acyclic silylsilylene, SiNDipp(SiMe3)}Si(SiMe3)(3)}, toward ethylene was investigated. A full conversion to the silirane product SiCH2-CH2}NDipp(SiMe3)}Si(SiMe3)(3)} (1) was observed at ambient temperature. However, heating of the benzene solution under an ethylene atmosphere led to an exceptional Si-Si bond insertion to give the modified silirane SiCH2-CH2}NDipp(SiMe3)}CH2-CH2-Si(SiMe3)(3)} (2a). With respect to the mechanism, an NMR experiment using C2D4 revealed this reaction to proceed via a migratory insertion of the coordinated ethylene of 1 into the Si Si bond of the ligand framework and subsequent addition of a second ethylene molecule. Moreover, [4+1] cycloaddition with 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene to give the corresponding silacydopent-3-ene ring SiCH2-CH3C=CCH3-CH2}NDipp(SiMe3)}Si(SiMe3)(3)} (3) is reported. All structures were fully characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis and H-1, C-13, and Si-29 NMR spectroscopy.

Three modes of reactivity of phenyl-substituted alkynes toward acyclic tetrelenes are reported, with reaction pathways found to be dependent not only on the nature of the group 14 element but also on the supporting ligand set. Systems featuring Sn-B or Ge-B bonds undergo insertion chemistry, forming borane-appended (vinyl)Sn-II and Ge-II species. With a bis(amido)stannylene, phenylacetylene acts as a profit acid, generating a Sn-II acetylide with a unique bridged structure. Reactivity toward a more strongly reducing Si-II system is dominated by the possibility of accessing Si-IV via [2 + 1] cycloaddition chemistry.
