The synthesis and characterization of the first stable trialkyl(difluoroamino)silane, R3SiNF2, as well as of R3SiNHF and R3SiN(CH3)F in moderate yields are reported. The (difluoroamino)silane has promise as a new synthon for the introduction of the -NF2 group into a variety of electrophilic inorganic and organic substrates. Activation barriers and relative energies were calculated for the unimolecular decompositions of Me3SiCF3 and t-Bu3SiNF2 using density functional theory (B3LYP/6-31G). The calculated activation energies confirm the long-assumed kinetic stability of Me3SiCF3.

Silyl ethers fulfil a fundamental role in synthetic organic chemistry as protecting groups and their selective cleavage is an important factor in their application. We present here for the first time two enzymes, SilE-R and SilE-S, which are able to hydrolyse silyl ethers. They belong to the stress-response dimeric A/B barrel domain (DABB) family and are able to cleave the Si-O bond with opposite enantiopreference.

Utilization of well-defined siloxane molecules allows for the construction of functional siloxane-based nanoporous materials based on the molecular design. Herein, a novel class of siloxane-based porous materials is synthesized via cross-linking of dimethylsilyl- and dimethylvinylsilyl-functionalized cage siloxanes with double-6-ring (D6R) geometry. Compared with the conventional double-4-ring cage siloxane, this study highlights the characteristics of D6R siloxanes as building blocks, demonstrating their high surface area and chemical stability.

Sterically demanding organosilyl ligands support the formation of coordinatively unsaturated complexes. In this study, we found that using the ligand -Si(SiMe)(SiMeBu) affords exclusively planar three-coordinate iron bis(silyl) complexes that show good catalytic performance in the hydrosilylation of acetophenone.

The ligand exchange reaction of (THF)Fe[Si(SiMe)] with 2 equivalents of an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) led to the formation of a square-planar iron(II) complex with -oriented -Si(SiMe) ligands. Conversely, the introduction of a -coordinate bidentate organosilyl ligand instead of -Si(SiMe) resulted in the formation of a square planar iron(II) complex supported by a -coordinate bidentate organosilyl ligand. A three-coordinate planar iron(II) bis(silyl) complex was also synthesized using a -coordinate bidentate organosilyl ligand and a cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene auxiliary ligand.

The synthesis of sterically demanding 2,6-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)phenyl (Ter)-stabilized and H-substituted diphosphanes TerHP-PR (-) via conversion of the phosphide TerPHK () with secondary chlorophosphanes ClPR (-, where R = Pr, Ph, and Bu, respectively) is described. The diphosphanes - were deprotonated using KH in tetrahydrofuran, selectively yielding the potassium phosphinophosphides K[TerP-PR] (-). These phosphinophosphides are stable in solution as well as in the solid state and can be further functionalized via salt-metathesis reactions.
