A chemoselective hydrosilylation method for aldehydes is developed using a ruthenium catalyst [(Ru(p-cymene)Cl2)2] and triethylsilane; a mono hydride bridged dinuclear complex [{(η6-p- cymene)RuCl}2(μ-H-μ-Cl)] a

Attempts to prepare low-valent molybdenum complexes that feature a pentadentate 2,6-bis(imino)pyridine (or pyridine diimine, PDI) chelate allowed for the isolation of two different products. Refluxing Mo(CO)6 with the pyridine-substituted PDI ligand, PyEtPDI, resulted in carbonyl ligand substitution and formation of the respective bis(ligand) compound ( PyEtPDI)2Mo (1). This complex was investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and density functional theory calculations indicated that 1 possesses a Mo(0) center that back-bonds into the π-orbitals of the unreduced PDI ligands. Heating an equimolar solution of Mo(CO) 6 and the phosphine-substituted PDI ligand, Ph2PPrPDI, to 120 °C allowed for the preparation of (Ph2PPrPDI)Mo(CO) (2), which is supported by a κ5-N,N,N,P,P-Ph2PPrPDI chelate. Notably, 1 and 2 have been found to catalyze the hydrosilylation of benzaldehyde at 90°C, and the optimization of 2-catalyzed aldehyde hydrosilylation at this temperature afforded turnover frequencies of up to 330 h-1. Considering additional experimental observations, the potential mechanism of 2-mediated carbonyl hydrosilylation is discussed.
