Tetrylones show unique electronic properties and display potantial as soluble molecular allotropes, but until now, the chemistry of Tetrylone homologs remains underexplored. Here, the authors describe the synthesis of a family of antimony(I) and bismuth(I) cations supported by a bis silylene ligand and explore their reactivity.
