Professor T. Don Tilley, Department of Chemistry, University of California at Berkeley is supported by the Inorganic, Bioinorganic, and Organometallic Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division to investigate metal-element multiple bonding and new methods for metal-mediated bond activations. A first goal will be to develop hydrosilation catalysts that form a silene ligand by an alpha-migration of a hydrogen atom from silicon to the metal center. A hydrogen atom remaining on the silicon atom then adds directly to an olefin, in a highly anti-Markovnikov manner. The mechanism of this process will be studied to determine the range of substrates that undergo hydrosilation in this way. Structure-reactivity correlations then will be made for these catalysts. Transformations that take advantage of the silicon to metal hydrogen transfer will be developed. Finally, metal-silylyne complexes will be synthesized and their reaction chemistry investigated. This research aims to establish a better understanding of fundamental reaction steps that occur at transition metal centers. The development of new strategies for chemical conversions is an important activity, given potential applications as diverse as drug development, polymer and materials synthesis, and the large-scale production of value-added chemicals. Hydrosilation reactions are of great importance in organic synthesis, and in polymer and materials chemistry. The development of highly regioselective hydrosilation catalysts is expected to contribute to a broader application of this reaction type. The research will train young scientists and provide them a broad set of technical skills. The PI and students involved in this project will take part in outreach activities to middle and high schools.

加州大学伯克利分校化学系 T. Don Tilley 教授在化学系无机、生物无机和有机金属化学项目的支持下，研究金属元素多重键合和金属介导的键激活的新方法。 第一个目标是开发硅氢化催化剂，通过氢原子从硅到金属中心的α迁移形成硅配体。然后，保留在硅原子上的氢原子以高度反马尔可夫尼科夫方式直接加成到烯烃上。我们将研究该过程的机理，以确定以这种方式进行硅氢化作用的基材的范围。然后将对这些催化剂进行结构-反应性关联。将开发利用硅到金属氢转移的转化。最后，将合成金属-甲硅烷基络合物并研究它们的反应化学。这项研究旨在更好地理解过渡金属中心发生的基本反应步骤。鉴于药物开发、聚合物和材料合成以及增值化学品的大规模生产等多种潜在应用，化学转化新策略的开发是一项重要活动。硅氢化反应在有机合成、聚合物和材料化学中非常重要。高区域选择性硅氢化催化剂的开发预计将有助于该反应类型的更广泛应用。该研究将培训年轻科学家并为他们提供广泛的技术技能。参与该项目的 PI 和学生将参加初中和高中的推广活动。
