Graphical Abstract

Die Gegenwart bestimmter Donormoleküle entscheidet, ob Bariumhypersilanide als Koordinationsverbindungen (siehe Bild) oder als Ionenpaare vorliegen: In aromatischen Lösungsmitteln dissoziieren die Verbindungen unter Bildung diskreter Ionen. Die Silanide sind bedeutsam als effektive Initiatoren für Polymerisationen und wichtige Modellverbindungen in der metallorganischen Chemie der schweren Erdalkalimetalle.
