Abstract
Easily accessible, simple phosphino-platinum(0) complexes catalyze (0.1–1 mol % equivalent) the deuteration of silanes in good yields under mild conditions (60 °C, 1 atm). The catalysis is mediated by platinum(II) deuteride/hydride complexes that are in equilibrium with the precursor Pt(0) complexes. The Pt(II) complexes can also be inserted into the Si–H bond of silanes to give intermediate Pt(IV) complexes. The proposed mechanism for catalysis is supported by density functional theory calculations.
