Complete Isocyanide Triple Bond Scission by a Silylene Yields an Optoelectronic 1,3-Disilacyclobutene

Abstract The complete scission of strong triple bonds is a definitive hallmark of transition metals, typically remaining beyond the reach of main-group elements. Despite the success of silylenes in activating various inert linkages, the full fragmentation of the isocyanide C≡N mo...
