3 1 General Information All reactions were performed in flame-dried glassware using an MBraun glove box (O 2 < 0.5 ppm, H 2 O < 0.5 ppm) or conventional Schlenk techniques under a static pressure of argon (glove box) or nitrogen. Liquids and solutions were transferred with syringes. CH 2 Cl 2, benzene, n-pentane, n-hexane, and THF were purified and dried using a MBraun solvent system. Toluene was distilled over sodium, degassed, and stored in glove box over 4 Å molecular sieves. C 6 D 6 (purchased from Aldrich) was dried over 4 Å molecular sieves; toluene-d 8 and CD 2 Cl 2 (purchased from Eurisotop) were distilled from the appropriate drying reagent, degassed, and stored in glove box over 4 Å molecular sieves. Technical grade solvents for extraction and chromatography (cyclohexane, n-pentane, ethyl acetate, and tert-butyl methyl ether) were distilled prior to use. All commercially available alkenes and alkynes 4a m,o were, if liquids, distilled, degassed, and stored in glove box over 4 Å molecular sieves. Alkene 4n [S1] was synthesized according to a reported procedure. B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 (1a), [S2] B(4-C 6 F 4 H) 3 (1b), [S3] B(C 12 F 9 ) 3 (1d), [S4] 2-bromononafluoro-1,1'-biphenyl, [S5] and (C 6 F 5 ) 2 BCl [S6] were synthesized according to reported procedures and stored in a glove box. Karstedt s catalyst was purchased from ABCR and dichloro(cycloocta-1,5-diene)platinum was purchased from Alfa Aesar. Analytical thin-layer chromatography (TLC) was performed on silica gel SIL G-25 glass plates from Macherey-Nagel. Flash column chromatography was performed on silica gel 60 (40 63 μm, mesh, ASTM) by Merck using the indicated solvents. Filtration of the reaction mixture prior to GLC analysis and reaction work-up were performed on MP Ecochrom neutral alumina of activity grade I by MP Biomedicals Germany GmbH. 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra were recorded in C 6 D 6 on Bruker AV 400 and Bruker AV 500 instruments. Chemical shifts are reported in parts per million (ppm) downfield from tetramethylsilane and are referenced to the residual solvent resonance as the internal standard (C 6 H 6 : δ = 7.16 ppm for 1 H NMR and C 6 D 6 : δ = ppm for 13 C NMR, CHDCl 2 δ = 5.32 ppm for 1 H NMR and CD 2 Cl 2 δ = ppm for 13 C NMR). 11 B, 19 F, 29 Si, and 31 P NMR spectra were calibrated according to the IUPAC recommendation using a unified chemical shift scale based on the proton resonance of trimethylsilane as primary reference. Data are reported as follows: chemical shift, multiplicity (br s = broad singlet, s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, q = quartet, m = multiplet), coupling constant (Hz), and integration. Infrared (IR) spectra were recorded on an Agilent Technologies Cary 630 FT-IR spectrophotometer equipped with an ATR unit and are reported in wavenumbers (cm 1 ). Gas liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (GLC-MS) was performed on an Agilent Technologies GC-System 5975C with an Agilent Technologies Mass Selective Detector (EI) and a HP-5MS column. Gas liquid chromatography (GLC) was performed on an Agilent Technologies 7820A gas chromatograph equipped with a SE-54 capillary column (30 m 0.32 mm, 0.25 µm film thickness) by CS- Chromatography Service using the following programs: N 2 carrier gas, column flow 1.7 ml/min, injection temperature 280 C, detector temperature 300 C; temperature program: start temperature 40 C, heating rate 10 C/min, final temperature 280 C for 10 min. Melting points (m.p.) were determined with a Stuart Scientific SMP20 melting point apparatus and are not corrected. High resolution mass spectrometry [HRMS, Atmospheric-Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI) or Electronic Impact (EI)] and elemental analyses were performed by the analytical facility at the Institut für Chemie, Technische Universität Berlin.

4 2 Experimental Details for the Synthesis of Bis(pentafluorophenyl)(nonafluorobiphenyl)borane (1c) and Measurement of Gutmann Beckett Parameters 2.1 Synthesis of Bis(pentafluorophenyl)(nonafluorobiphenyl)borane (1c) 1c C 24 BF 19 MW: g/mol Caution: This preparation involves the generation of lithiated perfluororarenes which are likely to explode if not kept at low temperature (< 30 C). At least, safety shields must be used when performing the following procedure. In our hands, the synthesis of borane 1c as reported by Li et al. [S7] led to mixtures of different boron compounds from which isolation of pure 1c could not be achieved. Instead, the following protocol was developed to obtain this compound in satisfying yields and purities: In a flamedried 50-mL Schlenk flask purged with argon was dissolved 2-bromononafluoro-1,1'-biphenyl (1.17 g, 2.96 mmol, 1.00 equiv) in n-pentane (20 ml). The solution was cooled to 78 C with a cryostat, and n-buli (3.1M in hexanes, ml, 2.96 mmol, 1.00 equiv) was added dropwise. The resulting suspension was slowly warmed to 55 C over approx. 2 h and kept at this temperature for 4 h. Chlorobis(perfluorophenyl)borane in n-pentane (7 ml) was then added, and the mixture was slowly warmed to room temperature overnight. The resulting suspension was filtered under argon atmosphere, and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness, affording a sticky, pale yellow oil. 19 F NMR analysis of this oil already showed a rather clean spectrum. In a glove box, the oil was dissolved in n-pentane (10 ml) and transferred to a flame-dried 25-mL Schlenk flask equipped with a magnetic stir bar. Outside the glove box, the solution was cooled to 78 C with a dry ice/ethanol bath while stirring. Precipitation of the targeted borane occured, and the supernatant was discarded via a filter cannula. This operation was repeated twice to afford an amorphous, off-white solid, which was further dried in vacuo, 674 mg, 35% yield. 19 F NMR (471 MHz, C 6 D 6 ) δ = (d, J = 20.0 Hz, 4F), (dt, J = 20.8 Hz, 10.2 Hz, 1F), (dq, J = 18.1 Hz, 6.0 Hz, 1F), (d, J = 20.7 Hz, 2F), (br s, 1F), (t, J = 17.5 Hz, 1F), (t, J = 21.2 Hz, 1F), (td, J = 22.3 Hz, 6.3 Hz, 1F), (td, J = 21.0 Hz, 7.1 Hz, 4F), (td, J = 21.2 Hz, 6.4 Hz, 2F). 11 B NMR (161 MHz, C 6 D 6 ) δ = The analytical and spectroscopic data are in accordance with those reported.

5 2.2 Measurement of Gutmann Beckett Parameters In a glove box, a 1.3-mL GLC vial was charged with triethylphosphine oxide (2.7 mg, 20 µmol, 1.0 equiv), bis(pentafluorophenyl)(nonafluorobiphenyl)borane (1c, 13.2 mg, 20.0 µmol, 1.00 equiv), and a magnetic stir bar. The two solids were covered with C 6 D 6 (1.0 ml), and the resulting solution was stirred for a few minutes before being transferred to an NMR tube. Complete conversion of the phosphine oxide to its borane adduct was observed by 31 P NMR analysis. 1 H NMR (500 MHz, C 6 D 6 ) δ = 0.95 (dq, J = 12.0 Hz, 7.8 Hz, 6H), 0.22 (dt, J = 18.7 Hz, 7.8 Hz, 9H). 19 F NMR (471 MHz, C 6 D 6 ) δ = (br s, 4F), (dd, J = 21.0 Hz, 9.7 Hz, 1F), (br s, 2F), (t, J = 20.4 Hz, 1F), (t, J = 20.4 Hz, 1F), (q, J = 20.7 Hz, 4F), (br s, 2F), (br s, 4F). 31 P NMR (203 MHz, C 6 D 6 ) δ = Table S1.

The solution was cooled to 78 C with a dry ice/ethanol bath, and sec-buli (1.26M in cyclohexane, 33 ml, 41 mmol, 4.1 equiv) was added dropwise over 15 min. The mixture rapidly turned yellow. TMEDA (6.1 ml, 41 mmol, 4.1 equiv) was then added, and the resulting solution was slowly warmed to 35 C over approx. 2 h. Cooling back to 78 C was followed by dropwise addition of neat SiCl 4 (1.2 ml, 10 mmol, 1.0 equiv). The mixture was then slowly warmed to room temperature overnight, and stirred for further 3 d until the yellow coloration had vanished. The resulting cloudy solution was quenched with saturated aqueous NH 4 Cl (35 ml), and the aqueous layer was extracted with tert-butyl methyl ether (3 30 ml). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (40 ml) and water (40 ml). After removal of all volatiles, the crude off-white solid material was recrystallized from n-hexane to afford a white crystalline solid, 1.8 g, 52 % yield. M.P.: 86 C.

In a flame-dried 100-mL Schlenk flask purged with N 2 were subsequently introduced THF (30 ml) and cyclohexa-1,4-diene (3.8 ml, 40 mmol, 3.0 equiv). The solution was cooled to 78 C with a dry ice/ethanol bath, and sec-buli (1.34M in cyclohexane, 30 ml, 40 mmol, 3.0 equiv) was added dropwise over 15 min. The mixture rapidly turned yellow. TMEDA (6.0 ml, 40 mmol, 3.0 equiv) was then added, and the resulting solution was slowly warmed to 30 C over approx. 2 h. Cooling back to 78 C was followed by dropwise addition of neat HSiCl 3 (1.35 ml, 13.3 mmol, 1.00 equiv). The mixture was then slowly warmed to room temperature and stirred overnight. The resulting cloudy solution was quenched with saturated aqueous NH 4 Cl (30 ml), and the aqueous layer was extracted with tert-butyl methyl ether (3 25 ml). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (40 ml) and water (40 ml). After removal of all volatiles, the crude off-white solid material was recrystallized three times from n-pentane to afford a white crystalline solid, 0.5 g, 14 % yield. Method B. In a flame-dried 250-mL Schlenk flask purged with N 2 were subsequently introduced n-hexane (100 ml) and cyclohexa-1,4-diene (3.91 ml, 41.3 mmol, 3.10 equiv). The solution was cooled to 78 C with a cryostat, and sec-buli (1.38M in cyclohexane, 29.5 ml, 40.7 mmol, 3.05 equiv) was added dropwise over 15 min. TMEDA (6.08 ml, 40.7 mmol, 3.05 equiv) was then added, and the resulting yellow solution was slowly warmed to 35 C over approx. 2 h and kept at this temperature for 4 h. Neat HSiCl 3 (1.35 ml, 13.3 mmol, 1.00 equiv) was added dropwise at 35 C, and the mixture was slowly warmed to room temperature and stirred overnight. The resulting cloudy solution was quenched with saturated aqueous NH 4 Cl (50 ml), and the aqueous layer was extracted with tert-butyl methyl ether (3 35 ml). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (60 ml) and water (60 ml). After removal of all volatiles, the crude off-white solid material was recrystallized from n-pentane to afford a white crystalline solid, 2.95 g, 83 % yield. M.P.: 59 C.

8 3.3 Synthesis of Di(cyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-yl)silane (2c) 2c C 12 H 16 Si MW: g/mol In a flame-dried 250-mL Schlenk flask purged with N 2 were subsequently introduced THF (50 ml) and cyclohexa-1,4-diene (3.88 ml, 41.0 mmol, 2.03 equiv). The solution was cooled to 78 C with a dry ice/ethanol bath, and sec-buli (1.38M in cyclohexane, 29.4 ml, 40.6 mmol, 2.03 equiv) was added dropwise over 15 min. The mixture rapidly turned yellow. TMEDA (6.07 ml, 40.6 mmol, 2.03 equiv) was then added, and the resulting solution was slowly warmed to 10 C over approx. 3.5 h. Cooling back to 78 C was followed by dropwise addition of neat (EtO) 2 SiCl 2 (3.72 ml, 20.0 mmol, 1.00 equiv). The mixture was then slowly warmed to room temperature overnight, and stirred for further 3 d until the yellow coloration had vanished. The resulting cloudy solution was quenched with saturated aqueous NH 4 Cl (35 ml), and the aqueous layer was extracted with tert-butyl methyl ether (3 30 ml). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (40 ml) and water (40 ml). After removal of all volatiles, di(cyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-yl)diethoxysilane (3) was obtained as a pale brown oil and used in the next step without purification. Yield was quantitative. 1 H NMR (400 MHz, C 6 D 6 ) δ = 5.93 (ddd, J = 10.2 Hz, 3.3 Hz, 1.7 Hz, 4H), 5.56 (ddd, J = 10.1 Hz, 4.0 Hz, 2.1 Hz, 4H), 3.81 (q, J = 7.0 Hz, 4H), (m, 6H), 1.15 (t, J = 7.0 Hz, 6H). In a flame-dried 250-mL Schlenk flask purged with N 2 and equipped with a dropping funnel was dissolved di(cyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-yl)diethoxysilane (3, 5.5 g, 20 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in n-hexane (20 ml). The solution was cooled to 78 C with a dry ice/ethanol bath, and di(isobutyl)- aluminum hydride (1.1M in n-hexane, 69 ml, 76 mmol, 3.8 equiv) was added dropwise. The resulting mixture was stirred at 78 C for 30 min then rapidly brought to 0 C and stirred at this temperature for again 30 min. Under an argon counterflow, freshly ground Na 2 SO 4 10H 2 O was added in small portions at room temperature until hydrogen evolution was no longer observed. The suspension was next filtered over a large (diameter approx. 12 cm, height approx. 5 cm) plug of silica, and the filter cake was washed with cyclohexane (3 50 ml). After removal of all volatiles, a colorless oil was obtained which was distilled under reduced pressure (8 mbar, 100 C) to afford di(cyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-yl)silane (2c) as a colorless oil, 2.0 g, 53% yield over two steps.

9 4 General Procedure for the Optimization of the Transfer Hydrosilylation of Styrene (4a) in Table 1 Caution: For reactions employing equiv of the SiH 4 surrogate, a substantial amount of SiH 4 gas is released in the reaction vial, resulting in ignition upon unsealing under air. Extreme care must be applied if these reactions are run on a larger scale! In a glove box, a 1.3-mL GLC vial is charged with the SiH 4 surrogate (2b: 18.7 mg, 70.0 µmol, equiv / 29.3 mg, mmol, equiv / 58.6 mg, mmol, 1.10 equiv; 2c: 13.2 mg, mmol, equiv / 20.7 mg, mmol, equiv / 41.4 mg, mmol, 1.10 equiv), styrene (4a, 20.8 mg, mmol, 1.00 equiv), mesitylene (14 µl, 0.10 mmol, 0.50 equiv, internal standard) and a magnetic stir bar. The mixture is covered with CH 2 Cl 2 (0.1 ml), the resulting solution is briefly stirred, and an aliquot is taken to measure the t 0 GLC chromatogram. Into a separate vial is weighed the catalyst (1a: 5.1 mg; 1b: 4.6 mg; 1c: 6.6 mg; 1d: 9.6 mg, 10 µmol, 5.0 mol %) which is then dissolved in CH 2 Cl 2 (0.1 ml). The resulting solution is then transferred to the reaction vial, the latter is capped and stirred in the glove box at room temperature. The reaction is monitored by GLC analysis. 5 Experimental Details for the Synthesis of Silanes by Transfer Hydrosilylation 5.1 General Procedure for the Reactions of Table 2 In glove box, a 1.3-mL GLC vial is charged with the SiH 4 surrogate 2, the unsaturated substrate (0.2 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and a magnetic stir bar. In a separate vial is weighed B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 (1a: 5.1 mg, 10 µmol, 5.0 mol %), which is then dissolved in CH 2 Cl 2 (0.2 ml). The resulting solution is then transferred to the reaction vial, the latter is capped and stirred in glove box at room temperature. The reaction is monitored by GLC. When full conversion is noticed, the reaction mixture is filtered in glove box over a short neutral alumina column (ø ~0.5 cm, h ~1 cm), which is further eluted with CH 2 Cl 2 (3 0.5 ml). Outside glove box, the filtrate is next evaporated to dryness. If necessary, the crude target compound is purified by flash column chromatography. 5.2 Preparation of 7a Outside the Glove Box In glove box, a screw-cap Schlenck tube was charged with styrene (4a, 31.3 mg, mmol, 1.00 equiv). In two separate 1.3-mL GLC vials were weighed B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 (1a: 7.7 mg, 15 µmol, 5.0 mol %) and tri(cyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-yl)silane (2b, 28.0 mg, mmol, equiv). All the sealed containers were taken out of the glove box, and the Schlenk tube was connected to a N 2 line. Under a N 2 counterflow were subsequently added 0.3 ml of CH 2 Cl 2 (technical grade, distilled with a rotary evaporator prior to use), 2b then 1a. The tube was completely sealed and stirred at room temperature for 24 h. After this time, two drops of triethylamine were added to the solution under an N 2 counterflow, and the resulting mixture was stirred for 5 min before being filtered over a short alumina column (elution with CH 2 Cl 2 ). After evaporation of all volatiles, the crude product (cloudy oil) was purified by flash column chromatography using cyclohexane/tert-butyl methyl ether (97.5:2.5) as eluent. Pure 7a was obtained as a colorless oil (26 mg, 75% yield). NATURE CHEMISTRY 9

18 8 Time-Dependent NMR Experiments Caution: In the experiments described below, substantial amounts of SiH 4 were generated in the NMR tube. Valved, pressure resistant NMR tubes must be used, and extreme care must be applied when opening them to air. 8.1 General Procedure for Monitoring the Degradation of 2a c In a glove box, a medium-walled valved NMR tube is charged with 2 (0.1 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and mesitylene (7.0 µl, 50 µmol, 0.5 equiv, internal standard), and CD 2 Cl 2 (0.2 ml) is added. Once capped, the tube is shaken to ensure complete solubilization, and taken out of the glove box to record the t 0 1 H NMR spectrum. Back in the glove box, B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 (1a, 5.1 mg, 10 μmol, 10 mol %) is deposited in the head of the horizontally held NMR tube, avoiding contact with the solution of 2 and mesitylene. Outside the glove box, the tube is shaken for a few seconds prior to its introduction into the NMR machine, and 1 H NMR spectra are recorded every 140 s over the course of 14 h. Concentrations are an approximation based on the integration of the Si H resonance signals and C(sp 2 ) H resonance signals of mesitylene. 8.2 Experimental Procedure for Monitoring the Degradation of 2b in an Open System In a glove box, a medium-walled valved NMR tube was charged with 2b (26.7 mg, 0.1 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and mesitylene (7.0 µl, 50 µmol, 0.5 equiv, internal standard), and CD 2 Cl 2 (0.2 ml) was added. Once capped, the tube was shaken to ensure complete solubilization, and taken out of the glove box to record the t 0 1 H NMR spectrum. Back in the glove box, B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 (1a, 5.1 mg, 10 μmol, 10 mol %) was added to the solution, and the NMR tube was kept open in the glove box. At random times over a period of 7 h, the tube was capped, taken out of the glove box and analyzed by 1 H NMR spectroscopy, then brought back inside the glove box and re-opened. NATURE CHEMISTRY 18

Once capped, the tube was shaken to ensure complete solubilization, and taken out of the glove box to record the t 0 1 H NMR spectrum. Back in the glove box, B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 (1a, 5.1 mg, 10 μmol, 5.0 mol %) was deposited in the head of the horizontally held NMR tube, avoiding contact with the solution of 2b, 4a and mesitylene. Outside the glove box, the tube was shaken for a few seconds prior to its introduction into the NMR machine. A first 1 H NMR spectrum was recorded after 3 min, and a second after 10 min, then 1 H NMR spectra were recorded every 10 min until 2 h after introduction of the catalyst. After this time, 1 H NMR spectra were recorded every 30 min over the course of 6 h, then every 60 min over the course of 16 h. From 2 h after introduction of the catalyst, 1 H- 1 H COSY and 1 H- 29 Si HMQC were alternatively recorded between two 1 H NMR measurements. Concentrations are an approximation based on the integration of the Si H resonance signals, one of the vinylic proton resonance signals of styrene (4a), and the C(sp 2 ) H resonance signals of mesitylene.
