di-Rh complexes based on 1,3-bis(3′-butylbenzimidazol-2′-ylidene)benzene were utilized as catalysts for hydrosilylation. Among the substrates investigated were aldehydes, ketones, α,β-unsaturated carbonyls, acyl chlorides, nitriles, alkenes, nitro groups, isocyanates, and tertiary amides. Additionally, carbon dioxide underwent hydrosilylation to produce dimethylphenylsilylformate. The catalysts compared
