Bis(triphenylsilyl) and dibenzyl ytterbium(ii) complexes supported by the macrocyclic polyamine ligand Me4TACD (1,4,7,10-tetramethyl-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane) reacted with H2 to give the cationic ytterbium hydrides [(Me4TACD)2Yb2(μ2-H)(2+n)](2-n)+ (n = 0, 1). The hydrides catalyzed the H2/D2 isotope exchange as well as hydrogenation and hydrosilylation of 1-hexene.

Hydrogenolysis of bis(triphenylsilyl)calcium containing the neutral NNNN-type macrocyclic amine ligand Me4TACD [Ca(Me4TACD)(SiPh3)2] (2), gave the cationic dinuclear calcium hydride [Ca2H3(Me4TACD)2](SiPh3) (3), characterized by NMR spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray analysis, and DFT calculations. Compound 3 reacted with deuterium to give the deuteride [D3]-3.

Protonolysis of bis(triphenylsilyl)calcium [Ca(SiPh3)2(THF)4] (1; THF = tetrahydrofuran) with the NNNN-type macrocyclic amido triamine (Me3TACD)H (TACD = 1,4,7-triazacyclododecane) gave the heteroleptic calcium complex [Ca(Me3TACD)SiPh3] (2) in quantitative yield. Hydrogenolysis of 2 gave the cationic tricalcium dihydride cluster [Ca3H2(Me3TACD)3](+)(SiPh3)(-)·2THF (4a) in high yield with concomitant formation of HSiPh3. In the crystal, 4a consists of a cluster cation and a free triphenylsilyl anion.

X-ray structures of enamines and iminium ions derived from 2-tritylpyrrolidine (Maruoka catalyst) and 2-(triphenylsilyl)pyrrolidine (Bolm-Christmann-Strohmann catalyst) have been determined. Kinetic investigations showed that enamines derived from phenylacetaldehyde and pyrrolidine (R = H) or 2-(triphenylsilyl)pyrrolidine (R = SiPh3) have similar reactivities toward benzhydryl cations Ar2CH(+) (reference electrophiles), while the corresponding enamine derived from 2-tritylpyrrolidine (R = CPh3) is 26 times less reactive. The rationalization of this phenomenon by negative hyperconjugative interaction of the trityl group with the lone pair of the enamine nitrogen is supported by the finding that the trityl group in the 2-position of the pyrrolidine increases the electrophilic reactivity of iminium ions derived from cinnamaldehyde by a factor of 14.

Waterproof complexes: Cationic Ir(III) photosensitizers (PSs) with an ancillary 4,4'-bis(4-(triphenylsilyl)phenyl)-2,2'-bipyridine ligand enabled hydrogen evolution from water with high turnover numbers (TONs; see scheme). The peripheral triphenylsilyl moieties prevent ligand substitution by solvent molecules, such as water, and thus increase the durability of the complexes. SR=sacrificial reducing agent, WRC=water-reduction catalyst.
