Nitro and nitritosilanes: Do they and can they exist?
Abstract
Nitrosilanes are unknown, much like the nitro analogues of most metalloids. Their nitrite isomers are better known and even used as reagents. Still, most studies on nitritosilanes focus on reactivity and there remains a doubt on their identity and even their existence. In this contribution, we verify computationally whether nitrosilanes could exist and obtain full confirmation for the existence of nitritosilanes.
