1. A process for the hydrosilylation of an unsaturated compound comprising at least one carbon-carbon unsaturated group with a silylhydride in the presence of a metal complex of Formula (I), Formula (II), or a combination thereof: GXn Formula (II); wherein the process comprises activating the metal complex with a silylhydride and a promoter compound, and G is Mn, Fe, Ni, Ru, or Co; each occurrence of R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, is independently H, C1-18 alkyl, C1-C18 substituted alkyl, aryl, substituted aryl, or an inert group, wherein any two neighboring R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, and R7 groups taken together may form a ring being a substituted or unsubstituted, saturated, or unsaturated cyclic structure, wherein R1-R7 other than hydrogen, optionally contain at least one heteroatom; X in Formula (I) is an anion; X in Formula (II) is an anion or an oxygen atom, and n=1-3 including non-integers, and wherein the promoter compound is an organic compound that is other than a reducing agent. |
