Partially charged platinum on aminated and carboxylated SBA-15 as a catalyst for alkene hydrosilylation.

In this paper, we report the successful preparation of a novel bifunctional heterogeneous catalyst Pt /SBA-APTE-SA with a partial positively charged Pt electronic structure post-synthesis modification of (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTE), succinic anhydride (SA) and platinum precursors. The resulting catalyst showed superior catalytic performance for the hydrosilylation of 1,1,1,3,5,5,5-heptamethyltrisiloxane (MDM) with allyloxy polyethylene glycol (APEG) compared to a heterogeneous platinum catalyst. In addition, our catalyst was suitable for the hydrosilylation of other alkenes. Furthermore, the catalyst displayed sufficient stability after being reused five times without noticeable inactivation. In terms of cycle number and atomic utilization efficiency, it has potential applications as a green hydrosilylation method for industry.
