Towards ligand simplification in manganese-catalyzed hydrogenation and hydrosilylation processes

Rapidly emerging application of organometallic manganese complexes incorporating less elaborated mono- and bidentate donor ligands in catalytic hydrogenation, transfer hydrogenation, hydrogenborrowing and hydrosilylation processes is comprehensively reviewed. Special attention is devoted to the influence of the nature of donor moieties (P-, N- and C-donors) on the catalytic activity and/or selectivity, the comparison with structurally related polydentate systems and mechanistic aspects.CO 2022 Elsevier B.V.
