Research Abstract

The cleavage of F!CN bond in the presence of Fe(II)
silyl complex, [Cp(CO)FeSiMe3], was studied using density
functional theory calculations and compared with the mechanisms
for E!CN (E = C, N, and O) bond cleavages, which
have previously been clarified to be a silyl-migration-induced
reaction.
