Regioselective Synthesis of Multifunctional Hybrid Polysiloxanes Achieved by Pt−Nanocluster Catalysis

Abstract
The first example of “Pt”−nanocluster-catalyzed regioselective generation of hybrid polymers via attachment of organic functionalities to evenly distributed Si−H bonds of poly(methylhydro)siloxane is described. In addition, participation of Pt−nanoclusters as an active catalyst was evidenced by various spectroscopic techniques during the catalytic transformations.
