Graphical Abstract
An uncommon catalyst: The β-agostic NSiH⋅⋅⋅M complex 1 (Ar=2,6-diisopropylphenyl) catalyzes a variety of hydrosilylation reactions. Stoichiometric reactions of 1 with unsaturated compounds proceed via the silanimine intermediate A and, in the case of olefins or nitriles, give products of SiC coupling, such as 2.

- 7The energy barrier to activation of the SiH bond depends on the extent of back donation.[3] Assuming a triple-bond character for the imido group, 2 a,b are 18-electron complexes, whereas 3 is a 16-electron complex.
