Abstract

Abstract: Silicon atoms were found to react with trimethylsilane, dimethylsilane, methylsilane, and disilane exclusively by insertion into silicon-hydrogen bonds. The resulting silenes inserted into a silicon-hydrogen bond of another substrate molecule, or polymerized to form linear and cyclic polysilanes. The electron bombardment
