A Parisian Vision of the Chemistry of Hypercoordinated Silicon Derivatives
Gilles Lemière, Alexandre Millanvois, Cyril Ollivier, Louis Fensterbank
Abstract
Less than ten years of acquaintance with hypercoordinated silicon derivatives in our lab is described in this account. Martin's spirosilane derivatives open new opportunities as ligands and as agents for the activation of small molecules and bis-catecholato silicates have proven to be exquisite radical precursors in photoredox conditions for broad synthetic applications.
