Claim Text:
1. A process for the production of silahydrocarbons, comprising: reacting at least one first reactant with at least one second reactant in the presence of a catalyst, to produce silahydrocarbons having the general formulae R wherein the first reactant is selected from the group consisting of olefins of 2 to 30 carbon atoms and alkenylsilanes of general formulae (R wherein the second reactant is selected from the group consisting of (i) a monosilane (SiH wherein the catalyst is selected from the group consisting of an iron complex of Formula (I), an iron complex of Formula (II), or a cobalt complex of Formula (III): wherein: G is Fe; each occurrence of R each occurrence of R wherein L wherein each occurrence of R each occurrence of R optionally any two of R each occurrence of R each occurrence of R wherein L each occurrence of Ar is independently C1-C18 alkyl, C1-C18 substituted alkyl, aryl or substituted aryl, wherein Ar optionally contains at least one heteroatom; Z is independently hydrogen, C1-C18 alkyl, C1-C18 substituted alkyl, aryl, substituted aryl, or an inert substituent; R X is N with the provisos that (1) R (2) L (3) the second reactant is selected from a silane of (i) or (ii) when the catalyst is a compound of Formula (III); and (4) the second reactant is selected from a silane of Formula (ii) when the catalyst is a compound of Formula (I) or (II).
