– No electrical charge � Non–octet species
– Divalent silicon atom � Unshared electrons � Vacant p orbital
Si
Transi'on Metal Bonding
– Back–dona'on much weaker in a metal–silylene complex rela've to metal–carbene complex
� Silicon remains Lewis acidic
� Silicon o^en stabilized with Lewis base

Ground State
– Silylenes react via singlet ground state
