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 …

Complexes formed between the heaviest and lightest elements in the periodic table yield the
f-block hydrides, a unique class of compounds with wide-ranging utility and interest, from …

(SiMe3) 3 (7); Mes= 2, 4, 6-Me3C6H2, Trip= 2, 4, 6-i Pr3C6H2) and Cp* 2ScSiH (SiMe3) 2 …

An introduction to the field of activation and fimctionalization of CH bonds by solution-phase
transition-metal-based systems is presented, with an emphasis on the activation of aliphatic …

Redistribution of primary silanes through C–Si and Si–H bond cleavage and reformation
provides a straightforward synthesis of secondary silanes, but the poor selectivity and low …

Tantalum complexes containing the sterically demanding imido ligand [2, 6-(2, 4, 6-
Me3C6H2) 2C6H3N] 2-([Ar* N] 2-) are reported. The dimethyl complex (Ar* N)(Ar* NH) …
