Silicon based phosphines with P_Si_P, P_C_Si_C_P and P_O_Si_O_P linkages and their coordination chemistry and catalytic applications

Catalysis using transition metal complexes featuring main group metal and metalloid compounds as supporting ligands

“…2B). 10–14 These metal and metalloid ligands act as strong σ-donors and often exhibit strong trans influence, which destabilizes the M–X bond at the trans position. 15,16 These characteristics lead to generation of highly reactive transition metal catalysts for various bond activation and nucleophilic addition reactions.…”

“…2C(c)). 13,14 This is often involved in several catalytic cycles to generate coordinatively unsaturated metal species for substrate activation and transformations. Furthermore, unusual σ-bond metathesis reactions and metallation/elimination reactions that directly proceed between an η 2 -(Si–H)M complex and substrates without formation of a metal hydride intermediate have also been reported accompanied by formation/dissociation of the silyl ligand (Fig.…”

Phosphines and Related Tervalent Phosphorus Systems

“…It is concluded that this rearrangement has much in common with the vinylcyclopropane-cyclopentene rearrangement, a pericyclic [1,3]-sigmatropic shift mechanism being implicated. 631 Theoretical and spectroscopic techniques have also been applied to the ability of the phosphirane ring in the fused system (209) to 'walk' around the cyclooctatrienyl ring system.…”

Rhodium Complexes with a Pyridine-2-yloxy-silyl-Based N,Si-Ligand: Bonding Situation and Activity as Alkene Hydrogenation Catalysts

“…The chemistry of transition metal (TM) complexes with tetradentate κ 4 -L 3 Si, tridentate κ 3 -L 2 Si and/or bidentate κ 2 -LSi ligandswhere Si symbolizes a silyl group and L phosphine ligands, − N -heterocycles, N -heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), or thioether groups , is growing in interest. The electronic and steric properties of multidentate organosilyl ligands are easily tunable by changing the substituents at the silicon and donor (L) groups.…”
