A novel stable donor/acceptor-supported MnI -metallasilanone 3 was synthesized. The intramolecular silanone-MnI interaction induces a highly strained three-membered cyclic structure, leading to an exceptionally high reactivity of 3 as a donor/acceptor complex of silanone. Indeed, metallasilanone 3 readily reacts with various small molecules such as H2 or ethylene gas in mild conditions.
