Rhodium carbene complexes as versatile catalyst precursors for Si–H bond activation

Krüger, Anneke ; Albrecht, Martin (Wiley-VCH, 2012-01-09)

Rhodium(III) complexes comprising monoanionic C,C,C-tridentate dicarbene ligands activate Si–H bonds and catalyse the hydrolysis of hydrosilanes to form silanols and siloxanes with concomitant release of H2. In dry MeNO2, ...
Rhodium-mediated activation of an alkane-type C–H bond

Krüger, Anneke ; Neels, Antonia ; Albrecht, Martin (RSC Publishing, 2010-01-14)

Abnormal C4-bonding of N-heterocyclic carbenes effectively modulates the electron density at rhodium and allows for the selective cleavage of an unactivated C(sp3)–H bond, whereas no such intramolecular C–H bond breaking ...
