Ionic and Organometallic-Catalyzed Organosilane Reductions

Gerald L. Larson received his PhD from the University of California, Davis, and became professor of chemistry at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras. He has worked at Petrarch Systems and then Gelest. His research interests include the use of organosilanes in synthesis and chromatography and the process development of the preparation of organosilanes and related materials. He has published over 100 papers in the area of organosilicon chemistry. James L. Fry received his PhD from Michigan State University, was granted emeritus professor status from The University of Toledo in 1999, and retired from Colorado State University in 2002. His research interests have included organometallic chemistry, chiral syntheses, electrochemical processes, kinetic isotope effects, functional group transformation methods using organosilicon hydrides, and surface chemistry.

"This is an impressive piece of work." (JACS, 2010)
