Silanols; metallasiloxanes; hydrogen bonding; phosphonates; metal clusters

This article presents a brief overview of different kinds of silanols and the important reactions of N-bonded silanetriols. The synthesis and characterization of silanediols containing Si-N and Si-C bonds, (2,4,6-Me₃C₆H₂)N(SiMe₃)Si(Me)(OH)₂ (1e) is described. 1e shows a polymeric crinkled tape type of structure due to extensive intermolecular hydrogen bonding. We also describe the formation of a neutral copper(II) complex derived from the reaction of CuCl₂ with (O)P(3,5-Me₂Pz)₃ where the ligand undergoes a facile P-N bond cleavage and functions as an N₂O type of tridentate ligand.
