The disilane derivative 2-(dichloromethylsilyl)-2-methyl-1,3-diphenyl-1,3,2-diazasilolidine wasreacted with a salen-type tetradentate lig
and to yielda pentacoordinate methylsilane with a silylated lig
and.This surprising rearrangement reaction-with Si-Si
bond cleavage
and Si-C

C withouta catalyst
and without special external energy input suchas irradiation-is confirmed
by X-ray structure analysisas well as
1H,
13C,
and 29Si NMR spectroscopic data ofthis novel hypercoordinate silicon complex.
