Three novel pyridine functionalized N‐heterocyclic silanes, bearing chloride and azide moieties, were synthesized and characterized by NMR spectroscopy ( 1 H, 13 C, 29 Si), mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, and single‐crystal XRD. The molecular structures show a comparably strong dative interaction of the pyridine‐N with the Si center, formally inducing a penta‐coordination arrangement at the silicon(IV). Under appropriate conditions, the silylazides, presented in this work, might be able to thermo‐ or photolytically liberate gaseous nitrogen giving rise to a promising synthetic option to access a variety of new transition metal silylene complexes with potential applications in various catalytic reactions.
