heteroaromatic alkynes and aliphatic alkynes, showing a
broad-spectrum substrate scope (3p-3s). Since less attention
has been paid to the internal alkynes because of the low
reactivity and regioselectivity,5 preliminary attempts for
hydrosilylation of symmetrically substituted internal alkynes
have been proved to be successful, furnishing the expected

alkynes such as 1-phenylprop-1-yne, the reaction was proceed
with a poor yield. Finally, this protocol was also suitable for

Conclusions
,
In summary, a recyclable Pd-Cu bimetallic catalyst has
been successfully synthesized, and the catalyst has been
applied in alkynes hydrosilylation reactions under ligand-free
conditions. Combination of Pd with Cu in an alloy form leads to
a considerable improvement of catalytic performance due to
the “synergistic effects”. The reaction proceeds under mild
conditions, furnishing vinylsilanes with excellent yield and
selectivity. The enhanced catalytic performance may origin
from the ultrasmall size and homogeneous distribution of the
BMNPs, the enrichment of Pd at the catalyst surface allow the
reaction to proceed with a low catalyst loading. Furthermore,
charge heterogeneity exist in the BMNPs due to the difference
in electronegativity, which may also contribute to the
extraordinary performance of the catalyst. Alloying palladium
with the earth-abundant copper not only enhances the
catalytic performance (activity, selectivity and stability) but
also lowers the cost of catalyst to some extent, and this may
be a preferable access for the development of green and
sustainable catalysts in the future.
