Alkynyl(ferrocenyl)vinylsilanes containing up to three alkynyl units were prepared and treated with 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (9-BBN). All reactions proceeded in the beginning by regioselective 1,2-hydroboration of the vinyl group, with boron attached to the terminal carbon. This was followed by intra-molecular 1,1-carboboration, leading to fused silacarbacycles, depending on the number of C≡C bonds. Thus, new siloles and even fused siloles became available. The solution-state structures were revealed by multinuclear NMR techniques (1H, 11B, 13C, 29Si NMR), complemented by calculated single-molecule structures and calculated NMR parameters at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory. In one case, the solid-state structure of a bicyclic derivative was determined.
