The incorporation of carbene (R 2 C:) and silylene (R 2 Si:) functionalities in the same molecule is a challenging task owing to their inherent reactivity. The synthesis of a stable compound (Si−NHC) featuring an unmasked carbene as well as a silylene is accomplished for the first time by installing a silylene functionality on the backbone of a 1,3‐imidazolium‐derived NHC. The Si−NHC compound offers significant potential as a ligand in the design of new catalysts, and as a building block for the preparation of new molecules and materials.
