Abstract
Three novel pyridine functionalized N‐heterocyclic silanes, bearing chloride and azide moieties, were synthesized and characterized by NMR spectroscopy (1H, 13C, 29Si), mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, and single‐crystal XRD. The molecular structures show a comparably strong dative interaction of the pyridine‐N with the Si center, formally inducing a penta‐coordination arrangement at the silicon(IV). Under appropriate conditions, the silylazides, presented in this work, might be able to thermo‐ or photolytically liberate gaseous nitrogen giving rise to a promising synthetic option to access a variety of new transition metal silylene complexes with potential applications in various catalytic reactions.
