Hydrogens make a difference : The first 14‐electron bis(silylene)palladium ( A ) and 12‐electron bis(silyl)palladium complexes ( B ) are synthesized from a stable dialkylsilylene (see picture; gold: Pd; dark blue: Si; light blue: C; magenta: H). The remarkable difference between the L‐M‐L angles of these two complexes is rationalized by applying the Walsh diagram.
