• NEt3·3HF, AgHF2 could also be used. The complexes were found to be air-stable in the solid state and moderately stable in solution. They were unambiguously characterized on the basis of NMR studies including 19F NMR and X-ray crystal analysis. With the IMes ligand, an air-stable bis(NHC)Cu(I) complex

• compounds, including diaryl- and dialkyl ketones and prochiral ketones, respectively (Scheme 36) [50]. Riant, Leyssens and co-workers investigated the mechanism of the hydrosilylation reaction of ketones using DFT, in situ FTIR, NMR, and kinetic methods [51][52]. The catalytic characteristics of sterically
