Organosilicon Chemistry [PDF ebook] 
Special Lectures Presented at the International Symposium on Organosilicon Chemistry

Organosilicon Chemistry provides information pertinent to the fundamental aspects and application of organosilicon chemistry. This book discusses the exact manner and extent of d-orbital involvement in organosilicon compounds in ground, electronic, and transition excited states. Organized into two parts encompassing 21 chapters, this book begins with an overview of preparing stable organosiliconium ions. This text then discusses the use of fused salts as reaction media in the preparative chemistry. Other chapters consider a detailed investigation on the molecular association and volatility of alkoxides of group (IV) elements. This book discusses as well the reaction between dimethyldichlorosilane and ethylene glycon, which has been shown to produce a dimeric ten-membered ring compound. The final chapter deals with the results of the investigations concerning the properties of the contact mass and of the non-volatile silicon-free products, which are produced in the direct synthesis of phenylhalogenosilanes. This book is a valuable resource for chemists and research workers.
