oa Unveiling the Potential of Platinum in Homogeneous Catalysis: A Review of Pt-NHC Chemistry and Pt-Catalysed Hydrosilylation Reactions: Part II

This is Part II of the review discussing the role of molecular platinum complexes in homogeneous catalysis, with a focus on Pt-NHC pre-catalysts introduced in Part I (1). The following sections are devoted to the development of platinum-catalysed hydrosilylation of alkenes and alkynes, providing both historical context and an overview of the evolution in the mechanistic understanding of this reaction, as well as the most recent advancements and alternatives based on non-platinum catalysts.
