69. The low-lying vacant π orbital of silylene is indispensable for effective π back donation; the Si-Pd-Si angles in the optimized structures of palladium complexes 8 and 9, which have rather higher vacant pπ orbitals due to the donation of the nitrogen lone-pair electrons, are 153.2° and 180.0°, respectively. Previous theoretical studies using a different density functional method have also shown that 9 and other bis(carbene)palladium complexes adopt similar linear skeletal geometries: J. C. Green, R. G. Scurr, P. L. Arnold, F. G. N. Cloke, Chem. Commun. 1997, 1963;
