Releasing ligand rigidity in Fe(
ii
) NNN complexes enables rapid ketone hydrosilylation with PMHS
Shu-Chi Liao, Chen-An Tai, Zheng-Feng Zhang, Jun-Yang Ye, Ming-Der Su, Wei-Tsung Lee A low-coordinate Fe(
ii
) complex supported by a flexible diphenylamide-based NNN pincer ligand is reported as an efficient catalyst for the hydrosilylation of ketones using polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) as a sustainable reductant.
