Abstract

A subject matter of the present invention is the use as catalyst, in particular in hydrosilylation, of a metal complex including at least one metal atom chosen from the metals of Groups 8, 9 and 10 of the Periodic Table of the Elements and one or more ligands, characterized in that at least one ligand includes a silene structure.

First claim

1 . A catalyst of a metal complex comprising at least one metal atom chosen from the metals from the group consisting of Pt, Pd, Ni, Rh, Ru, Os and Ir, wherein at least one ligand comprises a silene structure which is a silene-phosphorus ylide.

2 . The catalyst of the metal complex as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said ligand comprising a silene structure is the compound of formula (VI):

in which the symbol “Q” represents

and
the symbol “Ary” represents

3 . The catalyst of the metal complex as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the metal complex is the compound of formula (VII):

in which the symbol “Q” represents

and
the symbol “Ary” represents

4 . The catalyst of the metal complex as claimed claim 1 , wherein the metal complex is used as catalyst for a hydrosilylation reaction.

5 . A process for the hydrosilylation of an unsaturated compound comprising at least one alkene functional group and/or at least one alkyne functional group with a compound comprising at least one hydrosilyl functional group, said process is catalyzed by a metal complex comprising at least one metal atom chosen from the metals from the group consisting of Pt, Pd, Ni, Rh, Ru, Os and Ir, wherein at least one ligand comprises a silene structure which is a silene-phosphorus ylide.

6 . The process as claimed in claim 5 , in which the compound comprising at least one hydrosilyl functional group is chosen from the group consisting of:
a silane or polysilane compound comprising at least one hydrogen atom bonded to a silicon atom; a siloxane compound comprising at least one hydrogen atom bonded to a silicon atom comprising, per molecule, at least two hydrosilyl functional groups; an organic polymer comprising hydrosilyl functional groups at the terminal positions.

7 . A composition comprising:
at least one unsaturated compound comprising at least one alkene functional group and/or at least one alkyne functional group, at least one compound comprising at least one hydrosilyl functional group, and a catalyst chosen from the metal complexes comprising at least one metal atom chosen from the metals from the group consisting of Pt, Pd, Ni, Rh, Ru, Os and Ir, wherein at least one ligand comprises a silene structure which is a silene-phosphorus ylide.

8 . The composition as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the concentration of catalyst in the composition is less than 10 ppm by weight, with respect to the weight of unsaturated reactant.

9 . A metal complex comprising at least one metal atom chosen from the metals from the group consisting of Pt, Pd, Ni, Rh, Ru, Os and Ir, wherein at least one ligand comprises a silene-phosphorus ylide structure.
