Application

1,1,1,3,5,5,5-Heptamethyltrisiloxane can be used for the aromatic C-H silylation of arenes in the presence of a platinum complex catalyst.
It can also be used as a reagent to synthesize:
  • 3-Octyl-1,1,1,3,5,5,5-heptamethyltrisiloxane, an agricultural adjuvant and sensory performance enhancer used in cosmetic formulations.
  • Isoindigo-based conjugated polymer with siloxane-terminated solubilizing group.
  • Monosiloxy esters with a variety of acids.

While numerous single atoms stabilized by support surfaces have been reported, the synthesis of in-situ reduced discrete metal atoms weakly coordinated and stabilized in liquid media is a more challenging goal. We report the genesis of mononuclear electron deficient Pt1(0)
