Abstract

Sterically demanding organosilyl ligands support the formation of coordinatively unsaturated complexes. In this study, we found that using the ligand -Si(SiMe₃)₂(SiMe₂^tBu) affords exclusively planar three-coordinate iron bis(silyl) complexes that show good catalytic performance in the hydrosilylation of acetophenone.
