The mechanism of trans ‐hydrosilylation of alkynes mediated by Lewis acids has been identified by Car–Parrinello simulations using metadynamics, a technique that was recently devised to deal with complex chemical reactions in ab initio simulations. The figure shows the PhC 2 H⋅AlCl 3 bound adduct formed during the first step of this mechanism.
