  • Nickel complex catalyst for hydrosilation reactions
    Patent number: 4550152
    Abstract: Novel zero valent nickel complex catalysts have been developed for hydrosilation reactions including the use of such zero valent nickel complexes as catalysts in place of platinum complexes for SiH olefin compositions to produce silicone elastomers. These zero valent nickel complex catalysts appear to be most effective under anaerobic conditions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 3, 1984
    Date of Patent: October 29, 1985
    Assignee: General Electric Company

  • Method of producing phenyl silanes
    Patent number: 4474976
    Abstract: A method of producing phenyl silanes is provided by reacting a silane having at least one hydrogen-silicon bond and an aromatic compound having at least one halogen radical, aryl halide radical or aldehyde radical in the presence of a transition metal catalyst at a temperature in the range of about 150.degree. C. to 200.degree. C. Suitable transition metals include rhodium, ruthenium, palladium, osmium, iridium and platinum.

  • Heat curable organopolysiloxane compositions
    Patent number: 4329274
    Abstract: A curable organopolysiloxane composition is provided having a low viscosity in the uncured state and high physical strength in the cured state. A mixture of organopolysiloxane having silicon vinyl containing diorganopolysiloxane and silicon hydride containing siloxane is utilized in combination with a halogen containing platinum tetramer. The heat curable liquid injection moldable mixture exhibits an extended shelf life in the absence of an inhibitor at room temperature and rapidly converts to the solid cured state at 150.degree. C.
