Abstract

Abstract : The Cover shows the synergism of Fe and In in the selective double hydrosilylation of nitriles.In their Communication, M. Ito et al. explain that double hydrosilylation is achieved using tertiary and secondary silanes with an excess of organonitriles in the presence of a catalytic amount of Fe3 (CO)12 and InCl3 . Iron‐indium complexes [Fe(MeCN)6 ][Fe(CO)4 (InX3 )2 ] (X = Cl, Br, I), are catalytically active too. In this reaction system, the double hydrosilylation product is selectively obtained and no single hydrosilylation product is observed. This is a novel report of the combination of a transition metal complex and an indium source and is applicable to various nitriles and hydrosilanes. More information can be found in the Communication by M. Ito et al. onpage 3323 in Issue 21, 2016 (DOI:10.1002/cctc.201600940 ).
