Regioselective synthesis of multifunctional hybrid polysiloxanes achieved by Pt-nanocluster catalysis.
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.
