Since the report of the first silane σ-complex in 1969, 1 the activation of Si-H bonds has been the focus of intense research effort. 2, 3 Hydrosilylation, dehydrogenative silylation, and dehydrogenative polymerization of silanes represent the most important applications and involve a wide variety of silanes. 4 However, the scarcity of publications on reactions using SiH4, the simplest silane, and transition metals is probably the result of safety concerns. The only transition metal η2-SiH4 complex Mo (η2-SiH4)(CO)(R2PC2H4PR2) 2 was reported in 1995 by Luo, Kubas et al. 5 This compound was obtained by direct reaction of SiH4 on the molybdenum complex Mo (CO)(R2PC2H4PR2) 2. To circumvent any hazard associated with the use of SiH4, its in situ generation by catalytic redistribution of HSi (OEt) 3 by Cp2TiMe2 was exploited by Harrod et al. 6 Such alkoxyhydrosilane redistributions were also catalyzed by zirconium and hafnium complexes as shown by Tilley et al. 7Within the last three years, we have made a lot of progress on the isolation of unusual complexes involving in particular more than one σ-bond. We have described a series of bis (silane) mononuclear complexes [RuH2 {(η2-H-SiR2) 2X}(PR′ 3) 2] with two σ-Si-H bonds and demonstrated that these compounds are stabilized by secondary H ‚‚‚Si interactions. 8 These additional interactions are also responsible for the stability of another complex incorporating two different σ-bonds RuH2 (η2-H2)(η2-
