Inspired by homogeneous borane catalysts that promote Si-H bond activation, we herein describe an innovative method for surface modification of silica using hydrosilanes as the modification precursor and tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane (B(C6F5)(3)) as the catalyst. Since the surface modification reaction between surface silanol and hydrosilane is dehydrogenative, progress and termination of the reaction can easily be confirmed by the naked eye. This new metal-free process can be performed at room temperature and requires less than 5 min to complete. Hydrosilanes bearing a range of functional groups, including alcohols and carboxylic acids, have been immobilized by this method. An excellent preservation of delicate functional groups, which are otherwise decomposed in other methods, makes this methodology appealing for versatile applications.
