Abstract
Thermolysis of HMePhSiSiMe3 in the presence of a catalytic amount of I r{eta(2)-Me2Si(CH2)(2)PPh2} (PMe3)(3) resulted in the redistribution o f substituents to give its isomer HMe2SiSiMe2Ph. We propose the mechan ism involving the 1,3-Me-shift on a silyl(silylene) complex, which was trapped as a donor-stabilized silyl(silylene)iridium(III) complex.
