K. Tamao et al., Recent developments in silicon interelement linkage: the case of functionalized silyllithium, silylenoid and sila-ylide, PUR A CHEM, 71(3), 1999, pp. 393-400
As one representative family of silicon interelement linkages, functionaliz
ed silyl anions and related species such as silylenoids and sila-ylides are
described, focusing on the development of new synthetic methodologies and
the effects of the heteroatom substituents on the bonding nature and the re
activity of these species.
