Carbon copies? Compounds containing homo‐ and heteronuclear multiple bonds involving the heavier Group 14 elements have become available in the past few years. The most recent example is the cationic complex 1 (Mes=mesityl=2,4,6‐trimethylphenyl), for which the structural analysis and DFT calculations indicate a pronounced silylidene character and a nonclassical H⋅⋅⋅Si interaction.
