Compared with polymers, functionalized inorganic supports
without swelling phenomenon have attracted widespread atten-
tion for their rigid structures which could effectively prevent being
deformed during the reaction. Among these inorganic supports,
functionalized silica is known as a good supported material because
of its large surface area, high mechanical strength, thermal and
chemical stability. Many silica supported catalysts, silica-supported
sulfide platinum [19], Karstedt (Pt)-type catalyst [12], phosphi-
nate platinum [20,21], polyamidoamine dendrimers platinum, and
nitrogenous platinum complex [22] were developed to catalyze
hydrosilylation reactions. But they are still far away from practical
applications for large-scale manufacture of organosilicon com-
pounds. The stability and cost of those immobilized catalysts are
the main reasons hampering their practical applications. The cata-
lysts anchored by phosphine ligands or sulfur ligands were unstable
at high temperatures [23,24]. The deciduous ligands may not only
contaminate the product leading to lower repeatability and reli-
ability of reaction results, but also have a negative impact on the
environment and catalyst activity resulting from catalyst poison-
ing [25]. Therefore, it is highly required to develop a recyclable
phosphine-free and sulfur-free silica supported catalyst. Ethylene-
diaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), a hexadentate ligand containing
both carboxylate and amine groups, is becoming attractive reagent
in organic synthesis for its non-volatile, cheap, and non-toxic
nature. Moreover, its properties can be tuned by modifying with
functional groups. The commercially available and powerful com-
plexing agent [26] was proved to be efficient in the complexation of
a verity of metals [27,28]. To the best of our knowledge, however,
silica modified by EDTA never was used as metal immobilization
support until now.

All separation experiments were performed in GC 2020 with a
flame ionization detector (Wuhan Trust Century Technology Co.,
Ltd., Hubei, China) and a 30m × 0.25mm × 0.25 m capillary col-
umn (Lanzhou ATEO Analytical Technology Co., Ltd., Gansu, China).

Surwit Technology (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd. (Zhejiang, China). Bruker
Advance 600 MHz spectrometer (Bruker, Germany) was used for
analyzing of products using tetramethylsilane (TMS) as an inter-
nal standard and CDCl3 or DMSO as solvent. 1H NMR spectra

troscopy (XPS) experiments were carried out in a Kratos Analytical
Axis Ultra DLD instrument (Shimadzu, Tokyo, Japan).
In this work, we reported a new catalyst immobilizing plat-
inum on silica modified by EDTA. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid
(
EDTA) is a hexadentate ligand containing both carboxylate and
amine groups and is easy to be modified by functional groups
26–28]. The conditions of immobilizing platinum on silica were
[
systematically investigated. The complex was then characterized
by infrared spectroscopy (IR), energy dispersive X-ray spectrome-
ter (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution
transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy (XPS), ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV) and atomic
absorption spectroscopy (AAS). Its catalytic ability was evaluated
by catalyzing hydrosilylation reaction of methyldichlorosilane and
