Abstract

New chiral bis(triazolium) salts have been prepared in good yields. The corresponding mononuclear platinum(II) complexes [Pt{bis(NHC)}X2] (X = Br, I) have been synthesized and spectroscopically characterized. One of the synthesized biscarbene complexes has also been characterised by X-ray crystallography. These complexes are efficient catalyst precursors for the hydrosilylation of 1-octene. Novel chiral (biscarbene)platinum(II) complexes [Pt{bis(NHC)}X2] (X = Br, I) have been prepared and fully characterized. They were successfully tested as catalysts for hydrosilylation reactions. One of the new complexes has also been characterised by X-ray crystallography. These complexes were shown to be efficient precatalysts for the hydrosilylation of 1-octene.
