Description
Daniel Zobernig and Karl Kirchner report a manganese tool that adds silicon to the ends of carbon chains, in work from 2026. The task is hydrosilylation: a silicon-hydrogen bond is split and joined across a triple bond. The shape of the product counts, since one bent form is less stable and harder to make.
Their manganese complex is stable on the bench and works at a mild heat in a common solvent. It needs no added helpers and just a small dose, one to two parts in a hundred. It gave the less stable bent form, the Z form, across a wide range of chains, both ring-based and plain. Such Z forms are prized as building blocks, so a cheap metal that makes them cleanly has clear worth.
