A significant number of isolable silylenes are currently known. They have quickly developed from laboratory curiosities to useful ligands in metal‐mediated homogeneous catalysis. This includes their utilization in various catalytic transformations, such as C−C cross‐coupling, cyclotrimerization, hyd...
