Ring around the RuSi : Abstraction of a pyridine ligand with BPh 3 was used to synthesize the silylene complex 1 (see scheme), which reacts with nitriles at room temperature to give silylisocyanide complex 3 by CC bond activation. The structure of key intermediate 2 with an η 2 ‐SiH agostic interaction is given along with mechanisms for the formation of 2 and 3 .
