Zero-valent platinum complexes as precursors for hydrosilylation catalysts have been prepared for the first time with the new BABAR-Phos ligands (the structure of one such complex is depicted). These rather stable phosphiranes can be obtained when the three-membered PC2 ring is incorporated into a polycyclic cage.
