Silylenes are silicon analogues of carbenes and exist with neutral divalent silicon atoms. The first stable N-heterocyclic silylene (NHSi) was reported byWest et al., in 1994. Since then, many stable NHSis d,3 and other silylenes have been isolated. The reactivity pattern of NHSis is quite comparable with that of the N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), where the latter led to many applications in c...

The method of TiSiCN-coatings deposition by anodic evaporation Ti and decomposition an organosilicon precursor (hexamethyldisilazane) in a low-pressure (∼1 mTorr) nitrogen-argon arc discharge with self-heated hollow cathode is investigated. plasma composition was analyzed optical emission spectroscopy. TiSiCN coatings thickness up to 10 microns hardness 30 GPa were obtained 1.5 hours at tempera...

Reactions of 10-benzo[h]quinolyllithium with a series of organosilanes led to the formation of neutral pentacoordinate complexes. The diethynyl-substituted complex was able to be converted to di(arylethynyl)-substituted ones by the Sonogashira-Hagihara coupling reaction. Electronegative substituents shortened N-Si distances and enhanced fluorescence intensity from the complexes.

Particle-agglomerated films exhibit rough surfaces, which can be suitable for realization of ultra hydrophobicity. We fabricated particles and their deposits silica with organic functional groups (SiO:CH) by plasma polymerization organosilicon reactants including methyl vinyl groups. The trimethyl(vinyl)silane reactant showed a uniform deposition the plasma-polymerized SiO:CH in large area, whi...
