Hydrosilanes are used as versatile coreactants in the generation of silyl-metal complexes.
Since organohydrosilanes may contain one, two, or three SiH bonds as tertiary, secondary …

Hydrogen, the simplest element in the periodic table, plays a tremendous role in organic and
inorganic chemistry. For years, it was inconceivable that dihydrogen could be bound to a …

A series of supported electrophilic organoruthenium complexes has been synthesized via
surface organometallic chemistry (SOMC) techniques and applied to the selective …

NMR has played a major role in the characterization of dihydrogen complexes and a
number of polyhydrides have been reformulated as dihydrogen complexes on the basis of …

We report the synthesis and characterization of a series of high-and low-spin dicobalt
complexes of the tBuPNNP expanded pincer ligand. Reacting this dinucleating ligand in its …

A combined synthetic, mechanistic, and computational study is reported, which provides
unique insight into the role of σ-silane complexes in the catalytic hydrosilylation of nitriles. A …

Base-stabilized [BP3 i Pr](H) 2CoSiH2 (DMAP)(1,[BP3 i Pr]= PhB (CH2P i Pr2) 3–; DMAP= 4-
dimethylaminopyridine) is a rare instance of a synthon for the simplest “parent” silylene …

The [BP3 i Pr] Co (I) synthon Na (THF) 6 {[BP3 i Pr] CoI}(1,[BP3 i Pr]= κ3-PhB (CH2P i Pr2) 3–
) reacts with PhSiH3 or SiH4 to form unusual {[BP2 i Pr](SiH2R) CoH2}═ Si═{H2Co [BP3 i …

3) FeIV (H) 3 (SiR2)].[2] Such silylene intermediates would be isoelectronic with the
previously reported [(PhBPiPr 3) FeIV (H) 3 (PR3)] but appear to be too high in energy …

Recently an exciting new mechanism of hydrosilylation had been found in experiments with
the ruthenium–silylene complex [Cp∗(i-Pr3P) Ru (H) 2Si (H) Ph· OEt2][B (C6F5) 4] by Glaser …
