Abstract

Protonation of a heterometallic silanide complex with an alcohol led to formation of a σ-silane complex. This reaction does not require a strong acid or a weakly coordinating anion. Both metals of the heterometallic complex play an important role, with the aluminium centre sequestering the anion generated in the protonation step.

• The last chapter of my thesis is now published in @chemcomm.rsc.org! We explored how our heterometallic Fe-Al complexes allow for the facile generation of σ-silane adducts without requiring strong aci [bsky, 0 points, 0 comments]
