Investigation of Manganese-based Catalysts for Carbonyl Hydrosilylation Since its discovery in the late 1940s, hydrosilylation reactions have become crucial in both industrial and laboratory settings to form silicon-carbon and silicon-oxygen bonds.1,2 Since Speier's exploration into chloroplatinic acid catalyzed olefin hydrosilylation, precious metal catalysts have been widely implemented for the production of silicon products including adhesives and rubber.2 It is estimated that the silicon industry worldwide consumes around 5,600 kilograms of platinum each year.3 Given the cost, toxicity, and low a Type of Event: Inorganic Seminar Read more about Investigation of Manganese-based Catalysts for Carbonyl Hydrosilylation
