  • These findings enhance the understanding of bonding in metal-silylene complexes and contribute to the field of organometallic chemistry.

Article Abstract

Hydrogen-bridged bis(silylene) complexes of ruthenium and iron were synthesized as the first examples of this type containing Group 8 metals and their rare four-membered ring structures and multi-center bonding interactions at the M-Si-H-Si moiety were clarified by NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography and theoretical calculations.
