Аннотация:The interaction of bimetallic complexes (tBuPCP)Pd···(OC)M(CO)2Cp (1, M = Mo (a), W (b)) with PhSiH3 leads to an efficient heterolityc splitting of Si-H bond that is a primary step in catalytic hydrosilylation of CO2. The latter can be stopped at the formate level in the presence of 1 while proceeds further when catalyzed by (tBuPCP)PdH.
