The invention provides a method for preparing dichloro(1,5-
cyclooctadiene)
platinum(II) and relates to a method for preparing a
platinum group
metal compound which is used in an
addition reaction of
silicon and
hydrogen for preparing an organic
silicon compound and takes 1,5-
cyclooctadiene as the ligand. The method is characterized in that a preparation process comprises reacting
potassium chloroplatinite with 1,5-
cyclooctadiene (COD) serving as the ligand in mixed
solvent of water and normal propyl
alcohol to obtain dichloro(1,5-cyclooctadiene)
platinum(II) milky precipitate and obtaining the
reaction product dichloro(1,5-cyclooctadiene)platinum(II) by suction
filtration, washing with absolute
ethanol and water and
drying, wherein the temperature is controlled to be 60 to 90 DEG C in a reaction process, and the reaction time is 3 to 4 hours. The key technical point of the preparation method provided by the invention is to raise the
reaction temperature to 60 to 90 DEG C and reduce the reaction time to 3 to 4 hours from 48 hours reported in documents. Thus, the reaction time is reduced effectively, and
raw material waste and environmental damage are reduced.
