Abstract:
1. A process for the hydrosilylation of a reaction mixture containing a silyl hydride and a compound containing at least one unsaturated group, the process comprising: (i) providing a catalyst precursor being a complex having a structural formula according to Formula (I), Formula (II), or Formula (III); (ii) activating the catalyst precursor by contacting the catalyst precursor with an activator in the presence of a liquid medium containing at least one component selected from the group consisting of a solvent, the silyl hydride, the compound containing at least one unsaturated group, and combinations thereof, thereby providing an activated catalyst; (iii) reacting the silyl hydride, selected from the group consisting of R (iv) optionally removing the activated catalyst or derivatives thereof, wherein Formula (I), Formula (II) and Formula (III) are: wherein each occurrence of R X is an anion.
