The synthesis and reactivity of a silyliumylidene cation stabilized by an amidinate ligand and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) are described. The reaction of the amidinate silicon(I) dimer [LSi:]2 (1; L=PhC(NtBu)2) with one equivalent of N-trimethylsilyl-4-dimethylaminopyridinium triflate [4-NMe2C5H4...
