Abstract
Photochemical irradiation of the new bimetallic disilyliron complexes (SiMe 2)[(eta (5)-C5H4)Fe(CO)(2)SiMe2SiMe2R](2), R =Me, Ph, results in silylene e limination chemistry, as observed for the mono-metallic analogs, resulting in the formation of complexes (SiMe2)[(eta (5)-C5H4)Fe(CO)(2)SiMe2R](2). Th e intermediate silyl(silylene) complexes can be intercepted with HMPA. Apar t from a very reactive minor product that we have been unable to identify a t this time, the proximity of the two transition metal centers has little i mpact upon the observed chemistry.
