A silyliumylidene ion 2 stabilized by two σ-donating Ni(0)- and Pd(0)-fragments was successfully synthesized. Due to the σ-donation of M→Si interactions, 2 presents a pyramidalized cationic silicon center with a localized lone pair. The additional coordination of basic Pd(0) fragment to the mono-Ni(0)-stabilized silyliumylidene 1 results in a higher HOMO level and an unchanged HOMO-LUMO gap and thus, 2 remains highly reactive. Interestingly, the coordination mode at the Si center is closely related to the nature of M-ligands. Indeed, the donor/donor-stabilized silyliumylidene ion 2 has been transformed into a donor/acceptor-stabilized ion 13, featuring a trigonal planar Si center with a vacant orbital, just via a ligand exchange reaction from PCy/NHC toward PMe.

A base-stabilized -phosphonio--amino-silyne was synthesized, using an original method, through a coupling reaction between two Lewis-base-stabilized low-valent species: a silyliumylidene ion and a P,S-bis-ylide [C(0)-complex]. This new isolable cationic silyne displays remarkably high stability at room temperature [ = 7 days in tetrahydrofuran (THF)] and a unique silyne reactivity thanks to the effect of phosphonio substituent.

Several base-stabilized silyliumylidene ions (2 and 3) with different ligands were synthesized. Their behaviour appeared strongly dependent on the nature of ligand. Indeed, in contrast to the poorly reactive silyliumylidene ions 3 c,d stabilized by strongly donating ligands (DMAP, NHC), the silylene- and sulfide-supported one (2-H and 3 a) exhibits higher reactivity toward various small molecules.

The synthesis of a silyliumylidene cation complex 2 stabilized by a Ni -based donating ligand is reported. Experimental and theoretical studies demonstrate that the highly electrophilic Si center is stabilized by a dative Ni→Si σ-interaction and π-donations from the amino- and Ni-moieties. Due to the energetically close frontier orbitals localized on the Si and Ni atoms, complex 2 presents a competitive reactivity at Si and Ni sites.

Base-stabilized silyliumylidene ions are starting to gather more and more interest from academia and industry because of their intriguing possibilities as synthons in organosilicon chemistry, facile activation of small molecules and possible applications in transition metal-free catalysis. Furthermore, with the presence of a stereochemically active lone pair on the low-valent silicon center, they can act as ligands in transition metal complexes comparable to carbenes and silylenes. Utilization of the incredible synthetic potential of Si(ii) cations - the possible formation of up to three new bonds in a single reaction - can also give facile access to dative, single, double and triple bonds between silicon and a transition metal.
