Structure And Reactivity Studies Of Transition Metals Ligated By ~tbusi_3x (x = O, Nh, N, S, And Cc)

摘要

Use of the ~tBu_3Si group can sterically protect O, N, S, and acetylide donors, enabling chemistry at low-coordinate transition metal centers. This article provides examples from these laboratories on the utilization of ~tBu_3SiO~-, ~tBu_3SiNH~-, ~tBu_3SiN~(2-), ~tBu_3SiS~- and ~tBu_3SiCC~- as ligands in exploratory synthesis and reactivity studies of transition metal complexes.
