Phosphorous-substituted redox-active ligands in base metal hydrosilylation catalysis

Dalton Trans. 2021 Nov 16;50(44):15973-15977. doi: 10.1039/d1dt02879k.

Abstract

This article highlights the utilization of phosphine-containing redox-active ligands for efficient hydrosilylation catalysis. Manganese, iron, cobalt, and nickel precatalysts featuring these chelates have been described and leading activities for carbonyl, carboxylate, and ester C-O bond hydrosilylation have been achieved. Mechanistic studies have provided insight into the importance of phosphine hemilability.
