The reaction of bis(silylenyl)-substituted ferrocene 1 with two molar equivalents of BPh<sub>3</sub> yields the corresponding bis(silylene-borane) Lewis adduct 2. The latter is capable to activate CO<sub>2</sub> to furnish the borane-stabilized bis(silanone) 3 through mono-oxygenation of the dative Si<sup>II</sup> →B silicon centers under release of CO. Removal of BPh<sub>3</sub> from 3 with PMe<sub>3</sub> affords the corresponding 1,3,2,4-cyclodisiloxane and the Me<sub>3</sub> P-BPh<sub>3</sub ...[more]
