AbstractWe will outline that the sign and magnitude of J(Si,H) coupling constants provide a highly sensitive tool to measure the extent of Si−H bond activation in nonclassical silane complexes. Up to now, this structure–property relationship was obscured by erroneous J(Si,H) sign determinations in the literature. These new findings also help to identify the salient control parameters of the Si−H bond activation process in nonclassical silane complexes.
