“…A reaction that can form element–element bonds with extremely high conversion and high specificity is a prerequisite for the synthesis of polymers with high molecular weights by the step-growth polyaddition approach. Catalytic hydrosilylation of hydrosilanes and olefins to form Si–C bonds is one such reaction and has been well studied with a variety of catalysts, − including lanthanide, ,− actinide, , and transition-metal − ,,, and main group-metal complexes. , Thus, the precise stoichiometry reactions between hydrosilanes and olefins catalyzed by complex 1 were examined first. As shown in Table , aliphatic olefin (1-hexene) is regioselectively hydrosilylated to give anti-Markovnikov products (Table , runs 1 and 2, see Figure S26 in Supporting Information (SI)).…”
