• platinum hydrosilation catalysts including the well-known Speier's Catalyst and Karstedt's Catalyst, though widely used, suffer from one or more disadvantages, such as loss of active platinum via precipitation at higher temperatures, slow catalysis rates for bulky or deactivated alkenes and concurrent side reactions, such as isomerization of the olefin. It is therefore desirable to find platinum hydrosilation catalysts that overcome one or more of the above disadvantages suffered by many known general purpose catalysts, and are also readily prepared, relatively inexpensive, and can provide high rates of reaction. A further positive attribute in such catalysts would be the ability to reuse the initial charge of catalyst without loss of activity, since platinum is a rare and precious metal with very low natural abundance.

• the alkene-platinum-silyl complexes is to be made in situ during a hydrosilation reaction, then it is not necessary to separately add SiH groups for every anionic ligand on platinum because the catalyst forms in-situ from the SiH groups of the silane added and then starts the hydrosilation catalysis of the alkene with the further SiH added.
• the amount of COD added to the reaction mixture is critical in that there always must be close to at least 3 moles COD added for each mole of platinum.
• the total amount of COD required is determined partly by the amount of SiH used, since for every SiH used to remove an anionic ligand, the H component must be removed via hydrogenation.
• Some of the COD may be added to the mixture already bonded to platinum, for example, if added as (COD)PtCl2, or it could all be added as a separate component.
• the order of addition of the ingredients COD, platinum and SiH-containing silanes or siloxanes is important to the formation of the alkene-platinum-silyl complexes. Generally, when the SiH-containing silane or siloxane contacts platinum, the COD must also be present. However, it is not critical whether the COD and SiH-containing silane or siloxane are premixed prior to addition to the platinum or whether the COD and platinum are premixed prior to the addition of the SiH-containing silane or siloxane.

The contacting is preferably done with the reactants in a suitable solvent, although a neat reaction may be feasible. The solvent can be polar or non-polar, but polar solvents are preferred for faster reaction. Solvents which are known to complex with platinum, or that are discovered to complex with platinum should be avoided.
• Suitable solvents include benzene, toluene, dichloromethane, chloroform, and 1 ,2-dichloroethane.
• the temperature that the reaction is run at is not critical provided each of the reactants remains in the mixture. However, it should be understood that different SiH- containing silanes or siloxanes react under different conditions of temperature, pressure or solvent. Generally, the reaction can be run at temperatures from about 20°C to 100°C and temperatures from 32°C to 70°C are preferred. If necessary to ensure the reactants remain in the mixture at the temperature the reaction is being run, pressure can also be added.

• each premix the order of addition of each of the ingredients forming each premix is critical in that the silane or siloxane having at least one non-aromatic, carbon- carbon multiple bond or at least one organic material having at least one non-aromatic, carbon-carbon multiple bond must be present before or at the same time as the silane or siloxane having at least one SiH group is mixed with platinum.

• the solution or the solid complex is ready at this point for use as a catalyst.
• Regular chloroform that is CHCI3 can readily be substituted for the deuteriochloroform (CDCI3) for the preparation of the complex, provided the regular chloroform is unstabilized or stabilized with amylenes and not with an alcohol which will react with Si-Cl bonds and may also otherwise destroy the complex.
• Further purification of the catalyst was carried out as follows. Anhydrous hexanes (30 mL, Aldrich Chemical) were added to the flask and the mixture stirred at -78 °C for one hour to facilitate complete precipitation of (COD)Pt(SiMeC_2)2- The off-white solid was filtered cold and washed with three 12-15 mL portions of dry hexanes.
• the microcrystalline solid on the filter was dried under vacuum and transferred back to the original flask. Crude yield of product: 94-95%. If desired, the crude solid may now be further purified via dissolution in CDCI3 (or CHCI3) (30 mL, heating to 30-35 °C) containing added COD at 1- 1.5 mol COD/mol Pt, a second filtration (and washing with 5-10 mL CDCI3), followed by recrystallization via storage in a freezer at -20 °C, to yield colorless crystals of pure Pt(COD)(SiMeCl )2-
