Abstract

The present project covers the use of complexes of the type: (C5H5)M(CO)nLMe, (M = Fe, n = 1; L = CO, Ph3P; M = Mo, n = 2; L = CO, Ph3P); M(CO)6, (M = Cr, Mo, W) and M(CO)5NMe3 as catalysts for the activation of E-H bonds (E = Si, Ge and Sn). The work is divided in three sections; the first two involves dehydrogenation and the last one amide reduction.
