The synthesis and characterization of a singlet delocalized 2,4-diimino-1,3-disilacyclobutanediyl, [LSi(μ-CNAr)2SiL] (2, L: PhC(NtBu)2, Ar: 2,6-iPr2C6H3), and a silylenylsilaimine, [LSi([DOUBLE BOND]NAr)[BOND]SiL] (3), are described. The reaction of three equivalents of the disilylene [LSi[BOND]SiL]...
