Abstract
Abstract Thermal decomposition of catalytically-inert iodotrimethylplatinum(IV) tetramer in the presence of olefin and organosilicon hydride substrates leads to soluble platinum catalysts that actively promote hydrosilation. Characterization of the complexes formed on tetramer decomposition and their relation to the active catalytic species is discussed.
