Abstract:
Hydrosilylation is one of the largest-scale applications for homogeneous catalysis and is widely used to enable the commercial manufacture of silicon products. In this paper, a bifunctional heterogeneous catalyst, Pt /AET-MIL-101 (AET = 2-aminoethanethiol) with a partially positively charged Pt electronic structure is reported, which was successfully prepared using post-synthesis modification with AET and a platinum precursor. The catalysts were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen (N2) adsorption-desorption, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques which showed that the synergy of AET-MIL-101 provides a good dispersion of Pt in the channels, which can efficiently catalyze the hydrosilylation reaction with almost complete conversion and produce a unique adduct. In addition, the synthetic heterogeneous catalyst Pt /AET-MIL-101 achieves reasonable use of Pt in terms of number cycles and atomic utilization efficiency, indicating the potential to achieve a green hydrosilylation industry.

Reduction of Alkynes to cis-Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Like alkenes, alkynes can be reduced to alkanes in the presence of transition metal catalysts such as Pt, Pd, or Ni. The reaction involves two sequential syn additions of hydrogen via a cis-alkene intermediate.
Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...

Preparation of Alkynes: Alkylation Reaction
Alkylation of terminal alkynes with primary alkyl halides in the presence of a strong base like sodium amide is one of the common methods for the synthesis of longer carbon-chain alkynes. For example, treatment of 1-propyne with sodium amide followed by reaction with ethyl bromide yields 2-pentyne.
Reduction of Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Metals like palladium, platinum, and nickel are commonly used in their solid forms — fine powder on an inert surface. As these catalysts remain insoluble in the reaction mixture, they are referred to as heterogeneous catalysts.

The bonds formed in this reaction are stronger than the bonds broken, making it energetically favorable. The reaction follows a radical chain mechanism similar to radical halogenation...
