Summary Transition metal silicides, containing small amounts of chlorine, act as catalysts in the hydrodechlorination of silicon tetrachloride into trichlorosilane. Silicides, with comparable properties to the catalytically active phases, can be prepared by the reaction of silicon-rich silicides with the respective metal chloride. For the first time a thermodynamic model of chlorine-containing nickel silicides is given. Chlorine is considered to be dissolved in the silicides and is modeled as a lattice gas. Consequences regarding the bonding state of chlorine in the silicide phases are reported and discussed in relationship with the interactions within the silicide lattice.
