The ruthenium catalyzed hydrosilylation of terminal alkynes shows different E/Z product selectivity depending on the steric bulk of the alkyne substituent.  DFT calculations were performed to understand the origin of the observed stereoselectivity. This talk will cover the mechanistic analysis of the reaction coordinate for hydrosilylation.
