The synthesis and structures of the first SiII-donor supported manganese(II) complexes [L1]MnCl2, [L2]MnCl2, and [L3]2MnCl2 are reported, bearing a pincer-type bis(NHSi)-pyridine ligand L1, bidentate bis(NHSi)-ferrocene ligand L2, and two monodentate NHSi ligands L3 (NHSi = N-heterocyclic silylene), respectively. They act as unprecedented very active and stereoselective Mn-based precatalysts (1 mol % loading) in transfer semi-hydrogenations of alkynes to give the corresponding E-olefins using ammonia–borane as a convenient hydrogen source under mild reaction conditions. Complex [L1]MnCl2 shows the best catalytic performance with quantitative conversion rates and excellent E-stereoselectivities (up to 98 %) for different alkyne substrates. Different types of functional groups can be tolerated, except CN, NH2, NO2, and OH groups at the phenyl group of 1-phenyl substituted alkynes.

Multidentate carbene ligands are valuable frameworks for the preparation of carbene complexes displaying higher nuclearity. In the present work, we report the synthesis of a series of mono- to tetra-[Rh(COD)I] complexes (3a- d) supported by mesoionic triazol-5-ylidenes. The general synthetic procedure involves the one step reaction of the appropriate triazolium (2a-d) salt in the presence of KHMDS and stoiquiometric amounts of the rhodium(I) precursor. Treatment of complexes 3a-d with an excess of carbon monoxide allows for the quantitative preparation of complexes 4a-d featuring a [Rh(CO)2I] fragment used for the detemination of the donor properties of the new triazolylidene ligands. All complexes have been fully characterized by means of 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, melting point, elemental analysis, and in the case of complex 3a, by X-ray crystallography. Comparison of the catalytic activity of the new rhodium complexes in C-C and C-Si bond forming processes demonstrate the enhanced performance of the tetranuclear species suggesting the possibility of strong cooperative effects in these multinuclear complexes.
