Abstract

A cationic rhodium compound which is an active catalyst for both the hydrogen isotope exchange in hydrosilanes and the hydrosilylation of carbonyl compounds permits, in a one- flask, two-step procedure, efficient deutero-and tritiosilylations using SiEt3H under D2 (0.5 bar) or T2, at low catalyst loadings (0.1–0.5 mol%).
