Recyclable TPA-Modified MIL-88-Supported Ionic Pt as a Highly Efficient Catalyst for Alkene Hydrosilylation

[Image: see text] The hydrosilylation reaction driven by a homogeneous catalyst has been widely used in the industrial synthesis of functionalized silicone compounds. However, the homogeneous catalyst for hydrosilylation has the shortcomings of nonrecyclability, undesirable side reactions, and high cost. In this work, a highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst was prepared by loading Pt ions on MIL-88 modified with trimethoxy[3-(phenylamino)propyl]silane. In comparison with previous research studies, the resulting catalyst can exhibit high catalytic activity and excellent stability during the hydrosilylation reaction, which was attributed to the presence of a pyrrolic nitrogen structure between TPA-MIL-88 and the Pt ion. Besides them, 1.2%Pt/TPA-MIL-88 showed the highest catalytic activity and can be reused five times without significant deactivation. Importantly, 1.2%Pt/TPA-MIL-88 also achieved satisfactory results when it was used to catalyze the hydrosilylation reaction for other olefins, implying great potential for application in the silicone industry.
