A cobalt complex represented by formula (1), which exhibits excellent catalytic activity in hydrosilylation reactions and is excellent in terms of handleability and solubility in silicones.n n{In formula (1), R 1 to R 3 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a C 1-30 monovalent organic group which may have been substituted by a halogen atom and may be separated by one or more atoms selected from among oxygen, nitrogen, and silicon atoms, and at least one pair among R 1 to R 3 may be bonded together to form a C 1-30 bridged substituent which may be optionally separated by one or more atoms selected from among oxygen, nitrogen, and silicon atoms; the L moieties each independently represent an isocyanide ligand represented by the formula CN-R 4 (2) (wherein R 4 represents a C 1-30 monovalent organic group which may have been substituted by a halogen atom and may be separated by one or more atoms selected from among oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and silicon atoms); and n is 4.} |
