Photohydrosilylation Reaction of Silicone Polymers - Platinum-Based Photocatalysts - Trimethyl(Beta-Dicarbonyl) Platinum(IV) Complexes
Trimethyl(beta-dicarbonyl) platinum(IV) complexes are useful photoinitiators for the hydrosilylation reaction of silicone polymers containing Si-H/Si-vinyl and Si-H/Si-epoxide moieties by homogeneous catalysis. The last step of the photolysis generates colloidal platinum.
