Silicon Silanes

Used industrially for the manufacture of pure silicon, silane, and fluosilicic acid used to seal water out of oil wells during drillings.

Exemplary water-repellent treatments for masonry surfaces include metal stearates, oils, waxes, acrylates (both polymers and monomers), silicones (solvent-based and emulsion), siliconates, silanes and, fluorochemicals. In contrast, to waterproofing coatings, water-repellent coatings, because they are permeable to water vapor, do not trap moisture and, therefore they can reduce spalling. In addition most water-repellent coatings do not alter the appearance of a porous masonry.

The deposition of amoriDhous hydrogenated silicon (a-Si H) from a silane plasma doped witli diborane (B2 Hg) or phosphine (PH ) to produce p-type or n-type silicon is important in tlie semiconductor industry. The plasma process produces films witli a much lower defect density in comparison witli deposition by sputtering or evaporation. 

Silicon, unlike carbon, does notiorm a very large number of hydrides. A series of covalently bonded volatile hydrides called silanes analogous to the alkane hydrocarbons is known, with the general formula Si H2 + 2- I uf less than ten members of the series have so far been prepared. Mono- and disilanes are more readily prepared by the reaction of the corresponding silicon chloride with lithium aluminium hydride in ether ... 

This greater reactivity of the silanes may be due to several factors, for example, the easier approach of an oxygen molecule (which may attach initially to the silane by use of the vacant silicon d orbitals) and the formation of strong Si—O bonds (stronger than C—O). 

In addition to the volatile silanes, silicon also forms non-volatile hydrides with formulae (SiHj) , but little is known about their structure. Silicon, however, does not form unsaturated hydrides corresponding to the simple alkenes.
