Article Synopsis
- Simple silyl ethers (like O(SiMe3)2) don't bond with metals, unlike typical ethers.
- A very Lewis-acidic, cationic magnesium species can promote bonding with these silyl ethers.
- DFT calculations show that both agostic interactions and van der Waals forces play a big role in stabilizing this new type of metal-silyl ether complex.
