Cyclopentadienyl (Cp)-coordinated cationic Si(II) (1) and Ge(II) compounds (2) are a new class of catalysts for various transformations in organosilicon chemistry. This review demonstrates that these effectively catalyze technically important reactions, such as the hydrosilylation carbon-carbon multiple bonds types siloxane-coupling e.g., Piers-Rubinsztajn reaction oxidative siloxane coupling r...

The cleavage of silicon–hydrogen bonds to generate silicon-containing metal complexes has played an essential role in the preparation organosilicon compounds. Herein, we report reaction cyclopentadienone iridium complex 1 with hydrosilanes afford hydroxycyclopentadienyl silyl 4 via umpolung Si–H bond. nucleophilicity Ir–Si bond resulting was demonstrated allyl halide and ethyl acrylate. Further...

The organosilicon derivatives of 2-[1-(2-furayl)ethyledene]sulphathiazole with organosilicon chlorides have been synthesised and characterized on the basis of analytical, conductance, and spectroscopic techniques. Probable trigonal bipyramidal and octahedral structures for the resulting derivatives have been proposed on the basis of electronic, IR, (1)H, (13)C NMR, and (29)Si NMR spectral studi...

An organosilicon cation stabilized by intramolecular pyridyl coordination was effectively generated and accumulated by oxidative Si-Si bond dissociation of the corresponding disilane using low temperature electrolysis, and was characterized by NMR and CSI-MS.
