HMPT = hexamethyl phosphoric triamide.
Graphical Abstract
The first stable silanediyl complex 1 is monomeric both in solution and in the crystalline state. 1 has a polar SiFe bond and is stabilized by adduct formation with hexamethylphosphoric triamide (HMPT). As expected, the silanediyl ligand occupies an apical position of the trigonal-bipyramidally coordinated iron atom.

After filtration al low temperature, the crude product was purified by column chromatography on a silica gel column cooled to −10°C (diameter 2.5 cm, height of silica gel 45 cm). Elution was carried out with THF, the quickly eluting, colorless zone being collected. After removal of the volatile products in vacuum, 3b was obtained as a colorless powder. Yield 0.76 g (12%); m.p. = 153 ° C. Addition of 0.5 mL of HMPT to the THF solution of 3b resulted in crystallization of 3a. Yield 0.96 g (12%), m.p. = 163 °C.–Compounds 3a, b could also be synthesized by treatment of a suspension of 1.7 g (5.0 mmol) of 4·0.5dioxane in 50 mL of THF at −40 °C with 1.2 g (5.0 mmol) of 1. The workup was the same as that described above. Yield 12%.
