Transition metal catalyzed hydrosilation has emerged as a widely practiced methodology in homogenous catalysis due to its extensive industrial application. Our group has synthesized and characterized iron and manganese based complexes incorporating diimine ligands and utilzed them as catalyst precursors in hydrosilation reactions. The active catalysts promoted the anti-Markovnikov hydrosilylation of alkenes, alkynes, aldehydes and ketones using primary and secondary silanes under mild reaction conditions. In-situ spectroscopy (infrared and NMR) allowed for the identification of the initial [M]-H-Si adduct. The scope, efficiency, and operative mechanism of these reactions will be presented.
