Zinc salts do SiO's : Organosilicon chemistry is crucially determined by the high stability and chemical resistance of the Si‐O‐Si bond. The formation and structural existence of water‐stable metallasilanolates demonstrate both the possibility to cleave the Si‐O‐Si bond with simple zinc compounds under mild conditions as well as the existence of such molecular metallasilanolates in the presence of water.
