Hydrogen gas is the most promising carbon-free energy carrier although its on-demand generation remains a formidable challenge. One of the potential pathways for generating hydrogen is through hydrolytic oxidation of organosilanes. Here, we demonstrate that the hydroxide ion OH– serves as a potent room-temperature metal-free catalyst in the hydrolytic oxidation of polymethylhydrosilane, PMHS to hydrogen gas and the corresponding silanol with a turnover number and turnover frequency in excess of 200 and 8 min-1 resp. Kinetic studies suggest the hydrogen generation rate is first order with respect to PMHS and OH– but zero order with respect to water. The first step of the reaction, where the Si center of PMHS is attacked by the OH– ion, is believed to be the rate-determining step.
