We report the use of29Si NMR spectroscopy and DFT calculations combined to benchmark the covalency in the chemical bonding of s- and f-block metal–silicon bonds. The complexes [M(SitBu3)2(THF)2(THF)x] (1-M: M = Mg, Ca, Yb,x= 0; M = Sm, Eu,x= 1) and [M(SitBu2Me)2(THF)2(THF)x] (2-M: M = Mg,x= 0; M = Ca, Sm, Eu, Yb,x= 1) have been synthesized and characterized. DFT calculations and29Si NMR spectroscopic analyses of1-Mand2-M(M = Mg, Ca, Yb, No, the lastin silicodue to experimental unavailability) together with known {Si(SiMe3)3}−-, {Si(SiMe2H)3}−-, and {SiPh3}−-substituted analogues provide 20 representative examples spanning five silanide ligands and four divalent metals, revealing that the metal-bound29Si NMR isotropic chemical shifts, δSi, span a wide (∼225 ppm) range when the metal is kept constant, and direct, linear correlations are found between δSiand computed delocalization indices and quantum chemical topology interatomic exchange-correlation energies that are measures of bond covalency. The calculations reveal dominant s- and d-orbital character in the bonding of these silanide complexes, with no significant f-orbital contributions. The δSiis determined, relatively, by paramagnetic shielding for a given metal when the silanide is varied but by the spin–orbit shielding term when the metal is varied for a given ligand. The calculations suggest a covalency ordering of No(II) > Yb(II) > Ca(II) ≈ Mg(II), challenging the traditional view of late actinide chemical bonding being equivalent to that of the late lanthanides.
