An overview of the recent bibliography concerning the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-mediated activation of tetravalent silicon compounds is presented. Diverse reactions are discussed, such as the NHC-mediated addition of silyl pronucleophiles to a variety of electrophiles, NHC-promoted organic and inorganic polymerisation and the reduction of CO(2) by hydrosilanes as facilitated by NHCs. The review concludes with a discussion of the current knowledge regarding the role of Lewis acid-base NHC-Si interactions in the mechanistic course of these reactions.
现呈现关于 N-杂环卡宾（NHC）介导的四价硅化合物活化的最新文献概述。讨论了多种反应，例如 NHC 介导的硅亲核试剂对各种亲电试剂的加成、NHC 促进的有机和无机聚合以及 NHC 促进的硅烷还原 CO（2）。该综述最后讨论了路易斯酸碱 NHC-Si 相互作用在这些反应的机理过程中的作用的现有知识。
