PLATINUM METALLACYCLES COMPRISING N,P,OR AS RINGATOMS AND THEIR USE AS CATALYSTS IN 1,2-HYDROSILYLATION REACTIONS OF DIENES

摘要

Described herein are platinum complexes of Formula (I) as catalysts for a selective 1,2-hydrosilylation of 1,3-dienes. Methods of using the platinum complexes for selective 1,2- hydrosilylation of 1,3- dienes are also provided. A representative example of formula (I) is: formula (II) Also disclosed are dimeric complexes of formula (I), such as the one exemplified below: formula (III)
