Frontispiece: Metal Complexes of a Redox-Active [1]Phosphaferrocenophane: Structures, Electrochemistry and Redox-Induced Catalysis
Karin Fink, Frank Breher, Markus K. Armbruster, Alexander Feyrer
A dinuclear [FeRh] complex containing a redox-active [1]phosphaferrocenophane metalloligand was employed as redox-switchable rhodium catalyst in the hydrosilylation of terminal alkynes. As evidenced by activity and selectivity differences, distinct mechanisms are operating for the neutral and the cationic complex, namely the alternative Chalk–Harrod mechanism for [FeRh] and the classical variant for [FeRh]+. An “oxidatively induced reductive elimination” step was identified as the origin of the observed cooperative effect. For more details, see the Communication by F. Breher et al. on page 7402 ff.
