Cp((Pr2MeP)-Me-i)FeH2SiR3: Nonclassical iron silyl dihydride
Reactions of a new borohydride complex 2 with hydrosilanes afford half-sandwich dihydride silo complexes 3a-f. According to X-ray and DFT evidence complexes 3 have unprecedented double H center dot center dot center dot Si center dot center dot H interligand interactions.
