The chemistry of transition‐metal (TM) complexes with monoanionic bidentate (κ²‐L,Si) silyl ligands has considerably grown in recent years. This work summarizes the advances in the chemistry of TM‐(κ²‐L,Si) complexes (L=N‐heterocycle, phosphine, N‐heterocyclic carbene, thioether, ester, silylether or tetrylene). The most common synthetic method has been the oxidative addition of the Si−H bond to the metal center assisted by the coordination of L. The metal silicon bond distances in TM‐(κ²‐L,Si) complexes are in the range of metal‐silyl bond distances. TM‐(κ²‐L,Si) complexes have proven to be effective catalysts for hydrosilylation and/or hydrogenation of unsaturated molecules among other processes.
