Nowadays the relevance of silicon chemistry is increasing due to the applications of Si, in particular in semiconductors, in order to obtain an increasing number of performing materials. A theoretical investigation based on the Density Functional Theory has been done on the reaction paths implied in the Pt-catalysed alkene hydrosilylation, a process through which the selective grafting of organic molecules to silicon can be obtained. We studied the Si-H oxidative addition of SiH4 to a diphosphine molecule, the C2H4 insertion on Pt-H and Pt-SiH3 bonds, the isomerisation of the product of the C2H4 insertion, and the two following Si-C and C-H reductive eliminations. The set of these processes are known as the Chalk- Harrod mechanism and the modified Chalk-Harrod mechanism, respectively. The goal of this work has been to identify the rate determining step of both mechanisms. The dynamics of the oxidative addition step has been simulated. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2003.
