Synthesis and Reactivity of Silicon-Transition Metal Complexes, Part 13. This work was supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.—Part 12: W. Malisch, W. Ries, Chem. Ber., in press.
Graphical Abstract
All three possible stereoisomers are formed on light-induced decarbonylation of the complex (1) in the solid state and in solution at room temperature (detected by NMR spectroscopy). Spectra recorded immediately after dissolution of the crystalline transformation product reveal only the cis isomers.
