Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for preparing a platinum-organosiloxane complex which comprises (I) reacting (a) a platinous halide having an average crystal size of less than 2500 Angstroms and (b) an organosiloxane having from 2 to 4 silicon- bonded organic groups having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms and having terminal olefinic unsaturation, the remaining silicon- bonded organic substituents being selected from alkyl groups having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and phenyl groups, wherein said reaction is carried out in the presence of a polar organic liquid which is at least a partial solvent for platinous halide, and (II) neutralizing the reaction mixture of (I). The complexes of the instant invention are useful as catalysts for hydrosilylation reactions.
