Widely used as a highly active catalyst in hydrosilylation reactions, enabling the addition of silicon-hydrogen bonds across unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds. It is particularly effective in the synthesis of organosilicon compounds, including silicones used in coatings, adhesives, and elastomers. As a stable platinum(0) complex, it operates under mild conditions, with good tolerance to air and moisture, and exhibits high reactivity at low catalyst loadings, making it suitable for both laboratory and industrial-scale processes where efficiency and selectivity are critical. It is also employed in the synthesis of complex organic compounds requiring high selectivity, such as intermediates for pharmaceuticals or specialty materials, and in the preparation of functionalized polymers with controlled architectures. Its ability to function at room temperature with high yields makes it popular in advanced chemical research and development.
