Abstract

A general, user-friendly synthetic route to [Pt(NHC)(L)Cl2] and [Pt(NHC)(dvtms)] (L = DMS, Py; DMS = dimethyl sulfide, dvtms = divinyltetramethylsiloxane, Py = pyridine) complexes has been developed. The procedure is applicable to a wide range of ligands and enables facile synthetic access to key Pt(0)- and Pt(ii)-NHC complexes used in hydrosilylation catalysis.
