The reaction of the disilylene [{PhC(NBu(t))(2)}Si](2) (1) with 1 equiv of bromine in toluene afforded novel monomeric bromosilylene [{PhC(NBu(t))(2)}SiBr] (2). The result shows that the Si(I)-Si(I) bond in 1 was cleaved by bromine. An X-ray structure of compound 2 has been determined.

Strikingly diverse reactivity of structurally identical silylene and stannylene.
TLDR
The reactivity of structurally identical silylene and stannylene [PhC(NtBu)2EN(SiMe3)2] (E = Si (1) and Sn (2)2) towards coinage metals has been explored and both 1 and 2 led to ion pairs, 9+·SbF6- and 10+·Bf6- displaying weaker Ag·F interactions in the latter.
Synthesis and characterization of an amidinate-stabilized cis-1,2-disilylenylethene [cis-LSi{C(Ph)=C(H)}SiL] and a singlet delocalized biradicaloid [LSi(μ(2)-C(2)Ph(2))(2)SiL].
TLDR
X-ray crystallography and DFT calculations of 3 show that the singlet biradicals are stabilized by the amidinate ligand and the delocalization within the "Si(μ(2)-C(2)Ph(2))( 2)Si" six-membered ring.

Synthesis and Reactivity of a Hypersilylsilylene.
TLDR
Silaoxirane (7) formation was observed when 1 was treated with acetone, demonstrating the importance of the tris(trimethylsallyl)silyl group to kinetically and thermodynamically protect the silaoxiranes derivative with less bulky substituents on the C atom.

TLDR
The reduction of terphenylgermanium( II) or terphenyltin(II) chlorides with alkali metals was investigated and it was concluded that the M-M bond lengths in 3-7 and 10-16 are dependent on several factors that include Germanium species 3 and 4 and changes in the Ge-Ge and Sn-Sn bond lengths.

TLDR
Overall, the experiments showed that 1 is highly reactive toward unsaturated molecules, whereas the corresponding tin congener 2 is much less reactive.
