Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have developed efficient synthesis and their catalysis of a series of palladium complexes having a group 13 metalloligand (Al, Ga, In) utilizing 6,6”-bis(phosphino)terpyridine as a new scaffold for Pd-E bonds (E = Al, Ga, In). Systematic investigation revealed unique characteristics of the Al-metalloligand in both structure and reactivity, which exhibited the highest catalytic activity for hydrosilylation of CO2 ever reported (TOF = 19300-1). This study demonstrated fine tuning of catalyst activity by the rationally designed metalloligand is a promising approach for new catalyst development in synthetic chemistry.
