Reactivity of cis-Bis(dimethylphenylsilyl)bis(phosphine)platinum Complexes toward Unsaturated Compounds Relevant to Double Silylation

Abstract
The reaction of phenylacetylene, tolane, or isoprene with cis-bis(dimethylphenylsilyl)bis(methyldiphenylphosphine)platinum readily took place to result in 1,2- or 1,4- double silylation, respectively. Ethylene also underwent double silylation with the platinum complex, but styrene selectively gave E-2-(dimethylphenylsilyl)styrene.
