(Organosilanediyl)chromium(0) pentacarbonyl complexes, [2-(Me(2)NCH(2))C6H4]RSi=Cr(CO)(5) (R = Me, Ph, t-Bu, Ph-C=C-, Me(3)Si-C=C-), are obtained in good yield through the coupling reactions of (arylhydrogenosilanediyl)chromium(0) pentacarbonyl complex [2-(Me(2)NCH(2))C6H4]HSi=Cr(CO)(5), with the corresponding organolithium nucleophiles. Unexpectedly, the chloro- and bromosilanediyl complexes [2-(Me(2)NCH(2))C6H4]XSi=Cr(CO)(5) (X = Cl, Pr) are unreactive, but the fluorosilanediyl complex is even, more reactive than, the hydrogenosilanediyl complex with methyllithium. Possible geometries of the intermediate resulting in frontside attach of the nucleophile upon a zwitterionic silicon species are discussed.
