Abstract
Recent years have seen a growing interest in metal-free CO2 activation by silylenes, silylones, and silanones. However, compared to mononuclear silicon species, CO2 reduction mediated by dinuclear silicon compounds, especially disilynes, has been less explored. We have carried out extensive computational investigations to explore the mechanistic avenues in CO2 reduction to CO by donor-stabilized disilyne bisphosphine adduct (R1M ) and phosphonium silaylide (R2) using density functional theory calculations. Theoretical calculations suggest that R1M exhibits donor-stabilized bis(silylene) bonding features with unusual Si-Si multiple bonding. Various modes of CO2 coordination to R1M have been investigated and the coordination of CO2 by the carbon center to R1M is found to be kinetically more facile than that by oxygen involving only one or both the silicon centers. Both the theoretically predicted reaction mechanisms of R1M and R2-mediated CO2 reduction reveal the crucial role of silicon-centered lone pairs in CO2 activations and generation of key intermediates possessing enormous strain in the Si-C-O ring, which plays the pivotal role in CO extrusion.

Abstract
Since the first heavy alkene analogues of germanium and tin were isolated in 1976, followed by West's disilene in 1981, the chemistry of stable group 14 dimetallenes and dimetallynes has advanced immensely. Recent developments in this field veered the focus from the isolation of novel bonding motifs to mimicking transition metals in their ability to activate small molecules and perform catalysis. The potential of these homonuclear multiply bonded compounds has been demonstrated numerous times in the activation of H2, NH3, CO2 and other small molecules. Hereby, the strong relationship between structure and reactivity warrants close attention towards rational ligand design. This minireview provides an overview on recent developments in regard to bond activation with group 14 dimetallenes and dimetallynes with the perspective of potential catalytic applications of these compounds.

Abstract
The activation of NH3 and CO2 is still an ambitious target for multiply bonded sub-valent silicon compounds. Now, the precise splitting of the N-H bond of ammonia by (Z)-imino(silyl)disilene 1 to give trans-1,2-adduct 2 a at low temperatures (-78 °C) is presented. According to DFT calculations, the stereospecific hydroamination follows a similar mechanism as the recently reported anti-addition of H2 to the Si=Si bond of 1. The aminosilane 2 b could also be obtained as the formal silylene addition product under thermodynamic reaction control. By applying low temperatures, the activation of CO2 with 1 selectively afforded the cis-oxadisilacyclobutanone 7-c as [2+2] cycloadduct. By performing the reaction directly at ambient temperatures, a mixture of three different-sized silacycles (4-6) was observed. Their formation was investigated theoretically and their structures were revealed with separate experiments using 1 and the oxygenation agents N2 O and O2 .
