In inorganic chemistry, chlorosilanes are a group of reactive, chlorine-containing chemical compounds, related to silane (SiH 4) and used in many chemical processes. Each such chemical has at least one silicon-chlorine (Si−Cl) bond. Trichlorosilane is produced on the largest scale. The parent chlorosilane is silicon tetrachloride (SiCl 4). [1]
Methyltrichlorosilane, also known as trichloromethylsilane, is a monomer and organosilicon compound with the formula CH 3 SiCl 3. It is a colorless liquid with a sharp odor similar to that of hydrochloric acid. As methyltrichlorosilane is a reactive compound, it is mainly used a precursor for forming various cross-linked siloxane polymers.
tert-Butyldimethylsilyl chloride is an organosilicon compound with the formula (Me 3 C)Me 2 SiCl (Me = CH 3). It is commonly abbreviated as TBSCl or TBDMSCl. It is a chlorosilane containing two methyl groups and a tert-butyl group. As such it is more bulky that trimethylsilyl chloride. It is a colorless or white solid that is soluble in many ...
Hydrogen is also produced, as described in the chemical equation: Si + 3 HCl → HCl 3 Si + H 2. Yields of 80-90% can be achieved. The main byproducts are silicon tetrachloride (chemical formula SiCl 4), hexachlorodisilane (Si 2 Cl 6) and dichlorosilane (H 2 SiCl 2), from which trichlorosilane can be separated by distillation.

Trimethylsilyl chloride, also known as chlorotrimethylsilane is an organosilicon compound (silyl halide), with the formula (CH 3) 3 SiCl, often abbreviated Me 3 SiCl or TMSCl. It is a colourless volatile liquid that is stable in the absence of water. It is widely used in organic chemistry.
For inorganic silicon-hydrogen-chlorine compounds with the general formula Si n H 2n+2-x Cl x, see Category:Chlorosilanes. This category is for organic derivatives of chlorosilanes, where one or more hydrogens have (formally) been replaced by organic groups.
This structural group is characterized by chemical inertness and a large molecular volume, which makes it useful in a number of applications. A trimethylsilyl group bonded to a methyl group forms tetramethylsilane, which is abbreviated as TMS as well. Compounds with trimethylsilyl groups are not normally found in nature.
Methylsilane is the organosilicon compound with the formula CH 3 SiH 3. It is a colorless gas that ignites in air. It can be prepared by reduction of methyltrichlorosilane with lithium aluminium hydride. [2] It has been investigated as a precursor to silicon carbide. [3] Methylsilane has been the subject of extensive theoretical analysis. [4]
