Pep up your carbene catalyst : A sequential cobalt‐mediated CH activation and silylation protocol has been developed for the preparation of novel silyl‐donor‐functionalized NHC complexes (see scheme; Mes=mesityl; R=H, Me, Ph). The resulting cobalt complexes exhibited high activity and selectivity as catalysts for the hydrosilylation of olefins.
