Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a selective and efficient process for the hydrosilylation of compounds containing terminally unsaturated 1,3-dienes using iron-based hydrosilylation catalysts. The resulting 1,2-addition products are useful as precursors for various silicone materials or silane- or silyl/silicone-functionalized polyolefins.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are cobalt complexes containing terdentate pyridine di-imine ligands and their use as efficient and selective dehydrogenative silylation, hydrosilylation, and crosslinking catalysts.
Abstract:
In one aspect, cobalt complexes are described herein. In some embodiments, such cobalt complexes are operable as catalysts for hydroboration and borylation applications.
