The present invention concerns a method for the hydrosilylation of an unsaturated compound comprising at least one ketone function, one aldehyde function, one alkene function and/or one alkyne function, with a compound comprising at least one hydrogen-silyl function implementing an organic catalyst of tri-coordinated germanium.

A modified solid polyalkylaluminoxane is provided, which is capable of providing α-olefin suppressing adhesion of any polymer produced as a by-product onto the reactor wall and the stirrer, and which is capable of providing a highly active olefin oligomerization reaction catalyst. An olefin oligomerization reaction catalyst containing the modified solid polyalkylaluminoxane is also provided. The modified solid polyalkylaluminoxane for olefin oligomerization reactions contains structural units represented by general formula (a) and structural units represented by general formula (b), whose median diameter is equal to or larger than 0.1 μm and equal to or smaller than 50 μm,
