The primary steps in the reactions between hydrogeno- and chlorosilanes and platinum complexes (P_N)Pt(X)CH₃ (X = CH₃, H, Cl, SiH₃) with a hemilabile P_N ligand were investigated by DFT calculations, especially the stereochemical outcome of the initial oxidative addition reaction of the silane and the relaxation of the Pt(IV) intermediate by a reductive elimination.
