Abstract

rac-Tris(divinyldisiloxane)diplatinum(0) 1 is obtained on reaction of [Pt(cod)2] with tetramethyldivinyldisiloxane. Detailed multinuclear NMR studies showed that solutions of 1 are almost identical to the catalytically active solution which is used in the hydrosilation of unsaturated compounds.
