Bis(silyl)palladinum(II) and -platinum(II) complexes are key intermediates for the synthesis of organic silyllated compounds by the Pd or Pt-catalyzed reactions. Reactions of dialkylpalladinum and -platinum complexes with diphenylsilane gave the bis(silyl)palladinum and -platinum complexe in moderate to good yields. Isolated complexes were characterized by $^1H$, $^{13}C$ and $^{31}P$-NMR spectroscopy and elemental analyses. Some of the complexes were determined by X-ray crystallographic studies.
