Abstract:
Provided is a composition and process for producing a crosslinked product. The composition comprises a mixture constituting (a) an alkenyl silicone, (b) a hydrogen siloxane, (c) a cure inhibitor and (d) a hydrosilylation catalyst, optionally in the presence of a solvent, and (e) sulfur compounds in order to produce the crosslinked product, and the process comprises reacting such a composition to form a crosslinked product.
Abstract:
A process for the hydrosilylation of an unsaturated compound comprising reacting (a) a silyl hydride with (b) an unsaturated compound in the presence of (c) a platinum compound and (d) a cyclodiene, with the provisos that (i) when the unsaturated compound is a terminal alkyne, the silyl hydride is other than a halosilane, and (ii) when the platinum compound is a Pt(II)-based compound, the ratio of total moles of cyclodiene to moles of platinum is less than 3:1.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a selective and efficient process for the hydrosilylation of compounds containing terminally unsaturated 1,3-dienes using iron-based hydrosilylation catalysts. The resulting 1,2-addition products are useful as precursors for various silicone materials or silane- or silyl/silicone-functionalized polyolefins.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are cobalt complexes containing terdentate pyridine di-imine ligands and their use as efficient and selective dehydrogenative silylation, hydrosilylation, and crosslinking catalysts.

Abstract:
A heterogeneous catalyst comprising a metal-containing polymer matrix covalently bonded to a support material and a method of making and using such catalysts. The metal-containing polymer matrix comprises metal nano-particles encapsulated in a polymer matrix, e.g., a siloxane. In one aspect, the metal-containing polymer matrix can be bonded to the support material via a hydrophobic group attached to the support material. The catalyst can be recovered after being used in a metal catalyzed reaction and exhibit excellent catalytic activity upon reuse in subsequent reactions.
