AMIDINATO SILYLENE-BASED INORGANIC AROMATIC RINGS

Abstract

Aromaticity is a key concept that underpins the behavior and applications of a wide range of chemical compounds. Its impact on stability, reactivity, biological functions, material properties, and environmental persistence underscores the importance of understanding and harnessing aromaticity in chemistry and material sciences. We have been pioneers in the field of silylene chemistry and recently, our silylene molecules have been used to synthesize several inorganic aromatic ring compounds. The aromaticity in inorganic compounds is not commonly observed; hence, the inorganic aromatic rings derived from silylene would further enhance our understanding about aromaticity and stability. Herein, we discuss about the inorganic aromatic rings, which have been synthesized from amidinato silylene.
