The acid-base character of the oxides progresses from the acidic carbon and silicon dioxides to the amphoteric germanium and tin oxides to the more basic but still amphoteric lead oxide. Silicon and carbon dioxides are exceedingly different compounds, again due to the inability of silicon to form pir-pTT bonds. The oxides also demonstrate the trend toward the stability of the +2 oxidation state in the heavier congeners. 

The measures of solid state reactivity to be described include experiments on solid-gas, solid-liquid, and solid-solid chemical reaction, solid-solid structural transitions, and hot pressing-sintering in the solid state. These conditions are achieved in catalytic activity measurements of rutile and zinc oxide, in studies of the dissolution of silicon nitride and rutile, the reaction of lead oxide and zirconia to form lead zirconate, the monoclinic to tetragonal transformation in zirconia, the theta-to-alpha transformation in alumina, and the hot pressing of aluminum nitride and aluminum oxide. 

Starting from (OC)5MnSiR2H (R = Me, Ph, Cl), the p-silylene complex 70 is accessible via the oxidative addition of the Si —H bond to Pt(C2H4.)(PPh3)2 and Pt(PPh3)4, respectively. Structure 70 can be functionalized by displacement of the phosphine ligands alcoholysis and hydrolysis of the compound 70 leads to silicon-free complexes [175]. 

Lead oxide reacts violently with numerous metals such as sodium powder (immediate ignition), aluminium (thermite reaction, which is often explosive), zirconium (detonation), titanium, some metalloids, boron (incandescence by heating), boron-silicon or boron-aluminium mixtures (detonation in the last two cases). Finally, silicon gives rise to a violent reaction unless it is combined with aluminium (violent detonation). It also catalyses the explosive decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. 

He continued his experiments and discovered even more new gases sulfur dioxide, silicon fluoride, ammonia gas, and nitrogen. However, his most important discovery was oxygen. In June 1774 Priestley got a burning lens with a diameter of 12 inches and immediately began to experiment with it. In one experiment he turned the lens on mercury calx (mercuric oxide) and obtained an air in which candles burned more brightly than they did in ordinary air. At first he did not know what to make of this result, so he continued experimenting. He soon found that he could get the same gas from certain other materials, such as lead oxide.

The other prevalent method of oxidizing silicon uses wet chemical treatment, often in a sequence of steps called the RCA process [59]. In this process, silicon is both cleaned and oxidized by a process involving treatment with an alkaline mixture of ammonium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide (called standard clean 1, or SCI), followed by treatment with an acidic HC1 and hydrogen peroxide mixture (SC2). The process leads to what is called a chemical oxide. This, like the thermal oxide, is Si02, but the wet oxidation process typically leads to a more hydroxylated Si02 surface. 

Linford and coworkers have shown that the attachment of alkenes to H-terminated silicon surfaces can also be initiated by direct mechanical scribing, in a process termed chemomechanical functionalization [145-147]. The reaction of 1-alkenes (as well as 1-alkynes) leads to attachment of the molecule to the surface through two new Si—C bonds. The proposed mechanism is the mechanical cleavage of Si—H and Si—Si bonds, leading to silicon radicals that then react with the reactive liquid. Interestingly, Linford and coworkers have also extended this work to show that chemomechanical functionalization can be carried out not only on H-terminated Si, but also on sihcon covered with oxide, and have shown that the process works with a variety of halides, alcohols, and epoxides in both the liquid and gas phase [146]. 

Studies of the formation, chemical composition, and properties of deposits have shown that they consist of partially oxidized organic material, including more or less nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus. Compounds of iron, silicon, calcium, and other metals are present in small quantity, together with substantial amounts of lead oxides, sulfates, and halides from combustion of the antiknock fluid. The effects of these deposits are both physical and chemical in nature they may physically interfere with lubrication, heat transfer, gas flow, operation of valves and spark plugs chemically, they may bring about corrosion and oxidation.

A mixture with boron incandesces on heating, and with silicon the reaction is vigorous. If aluminium is present the mixture explodes on heating (but the same is true if silicon is absent) [1]. The pyrotechnic reaction of boron and lead oxide mixtures has been studied by DSC [2]. 

Other oxides such as sodium oxide, potassium oxide, and lead oxide are fluxes. They lower the melting point of the silicon dioxide.

Another approach in generating molecular insulating layers without the need of chemical conversion after deposition is the use of preliminarily modified molecules which can form dense self-assembled monolayers. To create dense self-assembled monolayers with sufficient robustness and insulating properties, a modified alkyltrichlorosilane with an aromatic end-group (18-phenoxyoctadecyl)tri-chlorosilane (PhO-OTS chemical structure Fig. 6.15a) was synthesized and tested [50]. The SAMs were created in a one-step process from vapor phase or solution. On self-assembly on a natively oxidized silicon surface the n-n interaction between the phenoxy end-groups of adjacent molecules creates an intermolecular top-link, leading to a more closely packed surface compared to monolayer than when linear end groups are used. 

Three studies of one mining population were located that equivocally associated reproductive effects in humans following inhalation exposure to uranium. The studies reported that male uranium miners were found to have more first-born female children than expected, suggesting that uranium s alpha radiation damaged the y-chromosomes of the miners (Muller et al. 1967 Waxweiler et al. 1981b Wiese 1981). In addition, it is not certain if the effect described is from exposure to uranium because the workers were also exposed to Rn, chlorine, hydrofluoric acid, lead sulfate, nickel, nitric acid and nitrogen oxides, silicon dioxide, and sulfuric acid (Dupree et al. 1987). 

The formation of structures on silicon with SAM especially on a nanometer scale has been demonstrated with different physical and/or chemical methods. An often used method is local anodic oxidation (LAO), where the monolayer is eliminated and the first layers of silicon beneath are oxidized leading to silicon oxide structures on the silicon surface. This method can be used to create structures on alkyl-terminated silicon within the range of nanometers [8]. The formed silicon oxide, which contains negative charges due to the oxidation...
