This paper addresses a review of platinum-based hydrosilylation catalysts. The main field of
application of these catalysts is the curing of silicone polymers. Since the 1960s, this area …

In this review article, we discuss advances in the chemistry of metal carbonyl clusters
(MCCs) spanning the last three decades, with an emphasis on the more recent reports and …

Recent progress in the catalytic hydrosilylation of organic and organosilicon compounds
containing carbon-carbon multiple bonds is reviewed. Related to this, dehydrogenative …

Polysilalkylene siloxanes or 'hybrid silicones' are a comparatively new class of polymeric
materials combining the chemical properties of silicones and paraffins in a unique way. They …

Ruthenium-based complexes are generally considered to be efficient catalysts due to their
high activity and electron transfer features. Although there are a limited number of highly …

Hydrosilylation is widely used in silicone chemistry to cross-link formulations so as to
generate elastomer materials. Most often, heat is the easiest way to activate a platinum …

Hydrosilylation, especially of carbon carbon multiple bonds, is one of the most important
reactions in organosilicon chemistry, and thus the reaction has been studied extensively for …

The ruthenium (0) catalyst generated from Ru3 (CO) 12 and tricyclohexylphosphine or
BIPHEP promotes successive C–C coupling of dienes to vicinally dioxygenated …

This chapter presents the hydrosilylation processes and gives a brief account of the main
types of reactions related to hydrosilylation in which the intermediates with a metal‐silicon …

Homogeneous noble metal catalysts used in alkene hydrosilylation reactions to manufacture
organosilicon compounds commercially often suffer from difficulties in catalyst recovering …
