Reactions of Hydrosilanes with Transition-Metal Complexes: Formation of Stable Transition-Metal Silyl Compounds

“…Si(Ni,Pd,Pt) bonds prepared by other methods or preceding 1980 and structurally characterized. SiNi: 2.182(4); 2.194(2); 2.195(1); 2.208(1); 2.283(3); 2.289(2) . SiPd: 2.336(1); 2.356(1); 2.358(5); 2.367(1); 2.368(1); 2.368(4); 2.375(4) .…”

Activation of silicon–silicon σ bonds by transition-metal complexes: synthesis and catalysis of new organosilyl transition-metal complexes

“…14 Since then, some bis(organosilyl)palladium() complexes have been synthesized by the oxidative addition of Si᎐Si bonds onto lowvalent palladium complexes. 15, 16 Fink's group first succeeded in a single-crystal X-ray analysis of a bis(organosilyl)palladium() complex prepared from a hydrodisilane and hydridopalladium complex. 17 Nevertheless, these investigations on the stoichiometric activation of the Si᎐Si bonds have not led to a remarkable development of catalytic reactions with disilanes.…”

“…A less bulky phosphine, dimethylphenylphosphine, could replace both isocyanide ligands to afford the bis(phosphine)palladium() complex 27. Use of the bidentate ligand, bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe) and the five-membered palladium complex 6 gave the corresponding dppe complex 28, whose structure was determined by a single-crystal X-ray analysis [equation (16)]. As already mentioned, addition of dppe to the six-membered ring complex 3 resulted in reductive elimination to give disilane 2 along with an unidentified palladium complex having dppe ligands.…”

Synthesis and reactions of organic compounds containing bonds of Te to Group 14 elements

“…30 Bis(trifluorosilyl) telluride (7s) was prepared by reaction of trifluorosilyl radicals generated by decomposition of hexafluorodisilane with tellurium vapour in a low-temperature matrix. 66,67 F3Si…”
