##STR00001## wherein in the general formula (1) above, “M” represents a molybdenum atom or a tungsten atom; “A” represents a carbon atom, a silicon atom, a germanium atom, a tin atom or a lead atom; X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 each independently represent a halogen atom; R.sup.1 to R.sup.5 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a straight or branched chain alkyl group that is substituted or unsubstituted and has 1 to 20 carbon atoms, or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms; each of R.sup.1 to R.sup.3 may be bonded to one another to form a ring.

Organic isocyanates are converted to ureas by heating in the presence of certain cobalt, magnesium, chromium and lanthanide series organometallic catalysts. The process requires no water or other reactants. The process is particularly useful for removing small quantities of monoisocyanates from a solvent stream recovered from a polyisocyanate manufacturing process. The urea compounds in some instances can be recycled back into the polyisocyanate manufacturing process and reacted with polyisocyanate compounds to form biurets.

With respect to an addition-curable thermally conductive silicone composition in which a silver filler is blended, a catalyst having a specific structure and an organohydrogen polysiloxane having a specific structure are used for the purpose of extending the working life at room temperature, while maintaining the flexibility, so that a thermally conductive silicone composition which is able to have a good balance between flexibility after curing and storage stability in one pack, while having extremely low thermal resistance and excellent reliability is achieved.

A hydroformylation process can be used for short-chain olefins, especially C2 to C5 olefins, wherein the catalyst system is heterogenized on a support that contains a porous ceramic material. Systems can also be used for carrying out said process.
