Abstract:

The research can be divided into 4 main areas 1 Mechanisms and Kinetics of the Decompositions of Silane and Organosubstituted Monosilanes, and of Disilane and Organosubstituted Disilanes. 2 Relative Rate Kinetics of the Trapping Reactions of SiH2 with Ethylene, Acetylene, Butadiene, Methanol, Silane and 1-butene. 3 Mechanisms and Kinetics of the Isomerizations and Decompositions of Organosilylenes. 4 From the above studies, we were able to propose a general reaction mechanism for carbosilane production from the decomposition of dimethylsilane. Keywords Silane, Organosubstituted Mono and Disilanes, Silylene, Organosubstituted silylenes.
