Abstract

The catalytic activity of a series of coordinatively unsaturated
NHC-M(III) (M = Rh, Ir; NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene)
complexes was tested in the deuteration of secondary and
tertiary silanes. Among these, [IrCl(ItBu0)2] provides the highest
conversions to the deuterated species. Mechanistic studies highlight
the reversible nature of the ortho-metalation reaction.
