Three platinum(II) bis(β-diketonate) complexes are highly active for photocatalytic hydrosilation cross-linking of oligo[(methylsilylene)methylene] with tetravinylsilane. Platinum(II) bis(benzoylacetonate), platinum(II) bis(trifluoroacetylacetonate), and platinum(II) bis(benzoyltrifluoroacetonate) are photoactivated by visible light for catalysis, while platinum(II) bis(hexafluoroacetylacetonate) can be used as a thermal catalyst. Kinetic data from FT-IR and UV-visible spectroscopies characterizing Si-H bond conversion and catalyst photolysis are reported.
