TL;DR: It is reported that well-characterized molecular iron coordination compounds promote the selective anti-Markovnikov addition of sterically hindered, tertiary silanes to alkenes under mild conditions, showing promise for industrial application.

TL;DR: The aryl-substituted bis(imino)pyridine cobalt methyl complex, ((Mes)PDI)CoCH3), promotes the catalytic dehydrogenative silylation of linear α-olefins to selectively form the corresponding allylsilanes with commercially relevant tertiary silanes such as (Me3SiO)2MeSiH and (EtO)3SiH.

TL;DR: In this article, three different classes of tridentate, nitrogen-based, terpyridine, and pyridine bis(oxazoline) ligands have been synthesized and evaluated in the catalytic hydrosilylation of olefins with tertiary silanes.

TL;DR: Aryl-substituted bis(imino)pyridine iron dinitrogen complexes are active for the hydrosilylation of 1,2,4-trivinylcyclohexane with tertiary alkoxy silanes, a process used in the manufacture of low rolling resistance tires as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a process for the hydrosilylation of a composition containing a silyl hydride and a compound containing at least one unsaturated group is described, the process comprising contacting a non-previous metal based complex as a catalyst precursor with an activator being a reducing agent.
