Series of difunctional· triphenylsilyl, methoxydiphenylsilyl, ethoxydiphenylsilyl, arid methyldiphenylsilyl derivatives derived from hexane, benzene, diphenyl, and diphenyl ether were prepared. Their volatility and oxidation stability on heating in an atmosphere of nitrogep or air were determined by thermogravimetric analysis. 4, 4'-Bis (triphenylsilyl) biphenyl and bis (p-triphenylsilylphenyl) ether are more stable than some gas- ...
