The stable ferrocene-based N-heterocyclic silylenes fc[(N{B})Si] (A; fc=1,1'-ferrocenylene, {B}=(HCNDipp)B, Dipp=2,6-diisopropylphenyl) and fc[(NDipp)Si] (B) are compared in a study focussing on their reactivity towards a range of small to moderately sized molecular substrates, viz. P, S, Se, MesN (Mes=mesityl), RC≡CH, and RC≡CR (R=Ph, SiMe). The Dipp-substituted congener B exhibits a more pronounced ambiphilicity and is sterically less congested than its 1,3,2-diazaborolyl-substituted relative A, in line with the higher reactivity of the former.
