Abstract: The platinum catalyst composition comprises a diolefin component represented by the following general formula:CH.sub.2 .dbd.CH--R--CH.dbd.CH.sub.2wherein R is a divalent saturated hydrocarbon radical, and a platinum compound component. The platinum catalyst composition is extremely useful for hydrosilylation of an organosilicon compound having a .tbd.SiH radical with an olefin. When used for the hydrosilylation reaction, it inhibits effectively the isomerization of the starting material olefin, thereby enabling the intended organosilicon compound to be obtained in a high yield.
