Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
74 words
A hydrosilation process which comprises reacting a composition comprising a compound having aliphatic unsaturation and a compound containing at least one silicon-bonded hydrogen atom and not havng more than three hydrogen atoms attached to any one silicon atom, in the presence of a platinum (II) β-diketonate complex catalyst, wherein said reaction is carried out by means of exposing said composition to actinic radiation having a wavelength of about 200 nm to about 800 nm.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
74 words
A hydrosilation process which comprises reacting a composition comprising a compound having aliphatic unsaturation and a compound containing at least one silicon-bonded hydrogen atom and not havng more than three hydrogen atoms attached to any one silicon atom, in the presence of a platinum (II) β-diketonate complex catalyst, wherein said reaction is carried out by means of exposing said composition to actinic radiation having a wavelength of about 200 nm to about 800 nm.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
57 words
The process of claim 1, wherein the platinum complex catalyst is represented by the formula: ##STR14## wherein R 1 and R 2 independently represent hydrogen, an alkyl group, or an aryl group, and R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , and R 6 independently represent an alkyl group, an aryl group, or an alkoxy group.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
54 words
The process of claim 1, wherein the composition comprises from 0.1 to 10.0 equivalent weights of the compound having silicon-bonded hydrogen per equivalent weight of the compound having aliphatic unsaturation, and, per 1,000,000 parts by weight of the total composition, from about 5 to about 5,000 parts by weight of the platinum complex catalyst.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
105 words
The process of claim 1, wherein the compound containing aliphatic unsaturation is a polyorganosiloxane having the general formula: ##STR15## wherein each R 9 independently represents a non-halogenated or halogenated ethylenically-unsaturated group, a non-halogenated or halogenated alkyl group or cycloalkyl group, or an aryl group, at least 70% of all R 9 groups being methyl groups, but no more than 10% of all R 9 groups being vinyl or other alkenyl, and at least one of the R 9 radicals being vinyl or other alkenyl, h represents a number having a value from about 1 to about 3000, and g represents 0, 1, 2, or 3.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
