Allylsilanes have long been recognized as valuable building blocks for organic synthesis. A zinc-catalyzed reaction of cyclopropenes and hydrosilanes provides a convenient route to these versatile unsaturated organosilanes. In this transformation, ZnBr serves as an efficient catalyst, allowing the generation of a zinc vinyl carbenoid intermediate, which is subsequently involved in a Si-H bond insertion. The process shows broad scope, and is amenable to substituted and functionalized cyclopropenes or the functionalization of polysiloxanes. Moreover, zinc-catalyzed carbene insertion into a Ge-H bond is reported for the first time.

The Schwartz's reagent Cp2Zr(H)Cl is a well known stoichiometric reagent for the reduction of unsaturated organic molecules but it has rarely been used in catalytic transformations. Herein, we describe the reduction of a variety of organic carbonates using the catalyst Cp2Zr(H)Cl in combination with Me(MeO)2SiH (DMMS) as reductant. This method was further applied to the reductive depolymerization of some polycarbonate materials and yielded silylated alcohols and diols in mild conditions.

The reduction of aryl carboxylates to methyl and allyl arene was attained using a well-defined cobalt catalyst. This catalytic transformation employs only a sub-stoichiometric amount of base, and diethylsilane as a reductant. Catalytic activation of the Si-H bond of the silanes, C-O bond of the ester, and silyl ether intermediates by cobalt is crucial to achieving exhaustive reduction.

The discovery of high critical temperature in cubic HS under high pressures attracts significant attention. Of particular recent interest is to search for superconductors stabilized at low pressure in order to approach practical applications. To examine the doping effect on the stability and superconductivity of HS, we construct HSX by replacing half of the S atoms with an X atom (X = Si, Ge, Sn, P, As, Sb, Te, Cl, Br and I).

As a contracted porphyrin analogue, corrole shows a more acidic and trinegative/triprotic nature compared with porphyrin in the field of coordination chemistry. However, the direct introduction of corrole into a metal-organic framework is quite difficult due to its lower symmetry. Herein, we report the one-pot synthesis of a series of corrole and porphyrin-based multivariate porphyrinic metal-organic frameworks M(TCPC)@M-PCN-222 (M = Cu, Mn, FeCl; TCPC = 5,10,15-tris(4-carboxyphenyl) corrole; M = Co, Cu, Ni, FeCl) and applied them to the insertion of a Si-H bond with α-diazoacetates.

Polymers synthesized with end-of-life consideration allow for recovery and reprocessing. "Living-anionic polymerization (LAP)" and hydrosilylation reaction were utilized to synthesize hair-end furan functionalized hairy nanoparticles (HNPs) with a hard polystyrene (PS) core and soft polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) hairs via a one-pot approach. The synthesis was carried out by first preparing the living core through crosslinking styrene with divinylbenzene using sec-butyl lithium, followed by the addition of the hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane (D3) monomer to the living core.
