h at room temperature. GC-MS analysis of the mixture
at this stage showed the presence of partially reduced
products. Then, LiAlH4 (0.3 g) was added and the mix-
ture was stirred for another 3 h at room temperature.
After removal of ether under reduced pressure, the re-
maining mixture was extracted with pentane (20 mL×
3), and then filtered through Celite. After evaporation,
the residue was distilled to gave 1,2-disilylbenzene 1
Materials and equipment
1H NMR, 29Si NMR and 31P NMR spectra were re-
corded on Jeol LA500 (for solution NMR). Chemical
shifts are given in ppm using external references (for
solution NMR spectra, tetramethylsilane (0 ppm) for 1H
and 29Si and 85% H3PO4 (0 ppm) for 31P), and coupling
constants are reported in hertz. C, H and N analyses
were taken on a Perkin-Elmer 240C elemental analyzer.
All reagents and solvents were of reagent-grade quality
obtained from commercial suppliers. All solvents were
dried and distilled from Na/benzophenone ketyl. The
solvents were stored over molecular sieves (4 Å). All
manipulations of air-sensitive materials were carried out
under a nitrogen atmosphere using standard Schlenk
tube techniques or in a glove box. 1,2-Bis(dimethyl-
phosphino)ethane (Aldrich) was purchased and used as
received, disilyl hydrosilane 1,2-C6H4 (SiH3)(SiH3) and
Pt(PEt3)4 were prepared according to the relevant litera-
ture method.[4b,6]

Preparation of {1,2-C6H4(SiH2)(SiH2)}PtII(dmpe)
complex (2)
A mixture of Pt(PEt3)4 (216 mg, 0.32 mmol) and
dmpe (48 mg, 0.32 mmol) in toluene (4 mL) was stirred
at room temperature for 40 min to give Pt(PEt3)2(dmpe).
After removal of volatiles under vacuum, the residual
was dissolved in toluene (4 mL). To this solution was
added hydrosilane (1, 44 mg, 0.32 mmol) at 0 ℃, and
the mixture was stirred at 0 ℃ for 12 h and then at
room temperature for 24 h. Removal of volatiles under
vacuum afforded a light yellow residue, which was
washed with hexane (2 mL×3) and dried under vacuum
to give the product 2 as a colorless solid, 120 mg (78%).

Synthesis
Preparation of 1,2-disilylbenzene (1)[4]
To a solution of phenyltris(N,N,N'-trimethyl ethyl-
enediamino)silane (20.4 g, 0.05 mol) in hexane (100 mL)
was added a pentane solution of t-BuLi (1.7 mol/L, 84
mL, 0.114 mol) over 30 min at 0 ℃ under nitrogen.
After stirring at r.t. for 3 h, the solution was added by
using polyethylene tube to a solution of SiC14 (61 g,
0.36 mol) in hexane (50 mL) at −75 ℃ over 1 h. After
addition was completed, the mixture was allowed to
warm to r.t. and stirred for 3 h. The solvents and excess
of SiC14 were removed under reduced pressure at r.t.
After the addition of hexane (50 mL) to the residue,
i-PrOH (90 mL) was added dropwise at 0 ℃. The mix-
ture was stirred at r.t. for 12 h. Volatiles were removed
under vacuum, hexane (140 mL) was added, and the
mixture was filtered through Celite. The filtrate was
further filtered through a short pad of SiO2 to remove a
remaining salt. After evaporation, the residue was sub-
jected to bulb-to-bulb distillation to give 14.5 g (60 %)
of 1,2-bis(triisopropoxysilyl) benzene. The product ob-
tained by bulb-to-bulb distillation was used for the next

PtII(dmpe) complex (3)
In a Schlenk tube equipped with a magnetic stirrer
bar, {1,2-C6H4(SiH2) (SiH2)}PtII(dmpe) (241 mg, 0.5
mmol) and dry methanol (6 mL) were placed. The mix-
ture was stirred at room temperature for 3 h under ni-
trogen, and then stirred at 60 ℃ for about 10 h.
