N2 - Reactions of hydrido(hydrosilylene)tungsten complexes, Cp′(CO)2(H)W=Si(H)[C(SiMe3)3], with nitriles (MeCN, tBuCN) at 60 °C gave hydrosilylation products, Cp′(CO)2W[κ2(N,Si)-Si(H)(N=CHR′){C(SiMe3)3}] (R′ = Me, tBu), with a novel W-Si-N three-membered ring structure. The product of the hydrosilylation of tBuCN underwent reversible rearrangement at 70 °C to a silylene complex, Cp′(CO)2(H)W=Si(N=CHtBu)[C(SiMe3)3], which was a major component in equilibrium. A reaction mechanism for the hydrosilylation involving coordination of nitriles to the silylene ligand and subsequent migration of the hydrido ligand to the nitrile carbon was proposed.
