Abstract

Abstract The reaction of Si 6 Me 12 and Si 5 Me 10 with chlorine gives 1, 6-Cl 2 Si 6 Me 12 and i, 5-Cl 2 Si 5 Me 10, respectively, and these compounds are in turned cleaved by chlorine to give smaller α, ω-dichloropolysilanes. The terminal Si Si bond in these linear chlorosilanes appears to be relatively unreactive towards chlorine, with chlorination occurring instead at the interior Si Si bond positions in the chain. With larger amounts of ...
