Abstract

AbstractSoluble platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) have been prepared by a two‐step procedure involving the reduction of chloroplatinic acid with ethylene glycol/NaOH at 160 °C and subsequent treatment with a THF solution of a tris‐imidazolium tetrafluoroborate at room temperature. The isolated Pt NPs have been characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), electron diffraction (ED), Energy‐Dispersive X‐ray Spectroscopy (EDS), and elemental analysis. They proved to be efficient and recoverable catalysts for the stereoselective hydrosilylation of internal alkynes in the presence and absence of solvent.
