Silanethione 2a and silaneselenone 2b —stabilized by intramolecular Si ← N coordination— are obtained as shown below. The X‐ray structure analysis of 2a , 1‐naphthyl instead of phenyl, reveals strong zwitterionic character, which might explain the unexpectedly low reactivity toward nucleophiles and electrophiles ( a , X = S; b , X = Se).
