Abstract

The ruthenacyclic carbamoyl complexes [RuX{2-NHC(O)C₅H₃NR}(CO)₂(NCMe)] (R = H and Me; X = Br and SC₆H₃-o,o-Me₂) are excellent catalysts for the hydrolysis of organosilanes, particularly towards primary silanes, generating hydrogen under ambient conditions within seconds. These complexes are structural mimics of the [Fe]-hydrogenase active site and like the natural enzyme, a labile ligand at the sixth coordination site is essential to the catalytic activity.
