Stannylene insertion into an amino–stabilized iron-silylene complex. Synthesis of [(OC)<sub>3</sub>{(Me<sub>2</sub>N)<sub>2</sub>(RO)P}Fe{[NMe<sub>2</sub>Si(OR)<sub>2</sub>(SnNBu<sup>t</sup>SiMe<sub>2</sub>NHBu<sup>t</sup>)]}](R = Me, Et)
Reaction of the HNMe(2)-stabilized iron-silylene complexes (1a,b) with the stannylene reagent SnNBu(t)SiMe(2)NBu(t) 2 occurs selectively by insertion into the N-H bond to give novel types of base-stabilized silylene, stannylene complexes.
