The unexpected mechanism of carbonyl hydrosilylation catalyzed by (Cp)(ArN[double bond, length as m-dash])Mo(H)(PMe(3)).
Complex (Cp)(ArN[double bond, length as m-dash])Mo(H)(PMe(3)) (2, Ar = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl) catalyzes the hydrosilylation of carbonyls by an unexpected associative mechanism. Complex 2 also reacts with PhSiH(3) by a σ-bond metathesis mechanism to give the silyl derivative (Cp)(ArN[double bond, length as m-dash])Mo(SiH(2)Ph)(PMe(3)).
