A curable resin composition containing (a) a polymer having a plurality of alkenyl groups, (b) an organohydrogenpolysiloxane having a plurality of hydrosilyl groups, (c) a polymer having a plurality of alkynyl groups, and (d) a hydrosilylation catalyst is disclosed. The composition is stable at room temperature but curable at an elevated temperature.
A novel pathway for homocoupling of terminal alkynes has been described using cyclopalladatedferrocenylimine 1 or 2/CuI as catalyst in the air. This catalytic system could tolerate several functional groups. The palladacycle 2 in the presence of n-Bu4NBr as an additive could be applied to Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction of aryl iodides, aryl bromides, and some activated aryl chlorides with terminal
