silanes

This reaction will work over a very large range of silanes and acids.

Other lower silanes can also form explosive mixtures with air.

Different silanes are, for example, miscible in all proportions among themselves.

However, the conversion of secondary silanes to olgiomers is less successful.

The molecular structure of the silanes directly affects their physical and chemical characteristics.

When silanes are produced in the laboratory, it is often a side-product of a reaction.

Hence, silanes form the upper layer in an silane-water mixture.

Silanes are very reactive and have moderate biological activity.

Silanes do not conduct electricity, nor are they substantially polarised by an electric field.

An important, class of silicon compounds that is parallel to silanes, are the heterosilanes.

Name branched or substituted silenes in a manner similar to silanes.

The melting points of the silanes follow a similar trend to boiling points for the same reason as outlined above.

There is usually little need for silanes to be synthesised in the laboratory, since they are usually commercially available.

The organosilanes are a group of chemical compounds derived from silanes containing one or more organic groups.

Prior work on the addition of silanes to alkenes required radical reactions that were inefficient.

Silanes with more than three silicon atoms can be arranged in various ways, forming structural isomers.

The key steps in the naming of more complicated branched silanes are as follows:

However, with longer silanes, this becomes cumbersome.

The lighter liquid silanes are highly flammable, this risk increases with the length of the silicon chain.

Apart from opportunistic sales of silanes the segment sells mainly solar wafers.

Several industrial and medical applications exist for silane and functionalized silanes.

Low molecular weight silanes are often pyrophoric.

Common head groups include thiols, silanes, phosphonates, etc.

Common coatings include poly-L-lysine, silanes, epoxy resins, or even gold.

Stronger inter-molecular van der Waals forces give rise to greater boiling points of silanes.
