title: Experimental and theoretical studies of Si-Cl and Ge-Cl σ-bond activation reactions by iridium-hydride.
abstract: We report the iridium hydride-mediated Si-Cl and Ge-Cl σ-bond activation in a low-polarity toluene solution owing to diphosphine-chelation, in which the Si-Cl and Ge-Cl σ-bonds are readily cleaved through an SN2-type pathway via the formation of a free chloride anion.
