    Well-defined iron complex-mediated catalytic C-3-selective silylation of indole derivatives and stoichiometric C–H bond functionalization of arenes were achieved using an iron dicarbonyl complex containing the disilaferracycle moiety [<i>o</i>-(SiMe<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>4</sub>]­Fe­(CO)<sub>2</sub>­[<i>o</i>-{η<sup>2</sup>-(H-SiMe<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>}­C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>4</sub>] (<b>1</b>). Facile liberation of the η<sup>2</sup>-(H-Si) groups in <b>1</b> was the key to effective promotion of these reactions

    (COT)<sub>2</sub>Fe and the open ferrocenes (MPDE)<sub>2</sub>Fe (MPDE = η<sup>5</sup>-3-methylpentadienyl) and (DMPDE)<sub>2</sub>Fe (DMPDE = η<sup>5</sup>-2,4-dimethylpentadienyl) were found to function as catalyst precursors for the hydrosilylation of alkenes in the presence of auxiliary ligands. Screening trials determined that the optimal catalyst system was composed of (COT)<sub>2</sub>Fe and adamantyl isocyanide, allowing the selective hydrosilylation of styrene derivatives with trisubstituted hydrosiloxanes and a polydimethylsiloxane bearing Me<sub>2</sub>SiH moieties as the end groups. Under the appropriate conditions, the dehydrogenative silylation side reaction was completely suppressed, and the reaction TON exceeded 5000
