The potassium silole K2[SiC4‐2,5‐(SiMe3)2‐3,4‐Ph2] reacts with [M(η8‐COT)(THF)4][BPh4] (M=Er, Y; COT=cyclo‐octatetraenyl) in THF to give products that feature unprecedented insertion of the nucleophilic silicon centre into a carbon‐oxygen bond of THF. The structure of the major product, [(μ‐η8: η8‐COT)M(μ‐L1)K]∞(1M), consists of polymeric chains of sandwich complexes, where the spiro‐bicyclic silapyran ligand [C4H8OSiC4(SiMe3)2Ph2]2−(L1) coordinates to potassium via the oxygen. The minor product [(μ‐η8: η8‐COT)M(μ‐L1)K(THF)]2(2M) features coordination of the silapyran to the rare‐earth metal. In forming1Mand2M, silole insertion into THF only occurs in the presence of potassium and the rare‐earth metal, highlighting the importance of bimetallic synergy. The lower nucleophilicity of germanium(II) leads to contrasting reactivity of the potassium germole K2[GeC4‐2,5‐(SiMe3)2‐3,4‐Me2] towards [M(η8‐COT)(THF)4][BPh4], with intact transfer of the germole occurring to give the coordination polymers [{η5‐GeC4(SiMe3)2Me2}M(η8‐COT)K]∞(3M). Despite the differences in reactivity induced by the group 14 heteroatom, the single‐molecule magnet properties of1Er,2Erand3Erare similar, with thermally activated relaxation occurring via the first‐excited Kramers doublet, subject to effective energy barriers of 122, 80 and 91 cm−1, respectively. Compound1Eris also analysed by high‐frequency dynamic magnetic susceptibility measurements up to 106Hz.
