Van Dyke, C. H. Synthesis and Properties of the Silicon-Halogen and Silicon-Halogenoid Bond in Organometallic Compounds of the Group IV Elements, MacDiarmid, A. G. (Ed.), Vol. 2, Part 1, Marcel Dekker, New York, 1972, p. 184... 

The synthesis of numerous organometallic compounds containing covalent metal-metal bonds has been achieved in a variety of ways. The majority of such compounds contain silicon, germanium, or tin bonded to a transition metal the latter frequently contains carbon monoxide among its ligands. The six principal methods of synthesis, with an example of each, are as follows ...

The synthesis of organosilicon compounds (i.e., formation of the Si—C bond) starting from a silicon halide and an organometallic compound (RMgX, LiR) (9, H, 60) is well known ... 

Organosilicon compounds can be prepared by reaction of silicon halides with other organometallic compounds. The first such synthesis (1865) was that by Friedel and Crafts270 who heated silicon tetrachloride with dimethyl-zinc in a sealed tube at 200° ...

Since several excellent reviews on the chemistry of multiple bonds to silicon [see the chapter written by G. Raabe and J. Michl in a previous volume of this series (1989) ] and also the reviews in Advances in Organometallic Chemistry, Vol. 39 (1995) (e.g. The Chemistry of Silenes by A. G. Brook and M. A. Brook , IminosUanes and Related Compounds—Synthesis and Reactions by I. Hemme and U. Klingebiel, Silicon-Phosphorus and Silicon-Arsenic Multiple Bonds by M. Driess and Chemistry of Stable Disilenes by R. Okazaki and R. West ) have appeared in recent years and as some parts of this chapter will be discussed in detail in related chapters of this book (e.g. Silenes and Iminosilanes by N. Auner and coworkers and Recent Advances in the Chemistry of Disilenes by H. Sakurai ), we will concentrate our attention in this chapter on the chemistry of silicon-chalcogen doubly-bonded compounds.
