Synergetic effects of dual metal group interaction for catalysis

对多核过渡金属配合物和硅-过渡金属簇合物的研究揭示了它们独特的结构和反应性，从而发现了基于这些配合物中元素和元素的协同效应的独特催化作用。钌、铁、铂和铱催化的氢硅烷还原羰基化合物中双Si-H键的邻近效应提供了获得胺、烯胺和其他有机分子的实用方法。一个有趣的发现是金属物种封装在有机硅凝胶中，在有机合成中表现出可重复使用的催化剂。

Studies on the multinuclear transition metal complexes and silicon-transition metal clusters revealed their unique structures and reactivity, leading to discovery of unique catalysis based on synergetic effects of the element and element in these complexes. Proximity effect of dual Si-H bonds in ruthenium, iron, platinum, and iridium catalyzed hydrosilane reduction of carbonyl compounds provides practical process to access amines, enamines, and other organic molecules. An intriguing discovery is metallic species encapsulated in silicone gel, which behaves reusable catalysts in organic synthesis.
