Abstract

The first example of PSiN mixed-donor silyl pincer ligation is described. Studies involving platinum group metal complexes of [(2-tBu2PC6H4)(2-Me2NC6H4)SiMe]− (tBu-PSiN-Me) confirmed that the ligand amino donor is labile. Within the coordination sphere of Ru, tBu-PSiN-Me is transformed into a PSiC ligand via multiple C-H bond activation events.
