Tetrachlorosilane silicon tetrachloride

X-ray crystallographic work on silicates has helped to explain the apparent complexity of the so-called silicic acids . Orthosilicic acid, H4Si04, can be made by the hydrolysis of tetrachlorosilane (silicon tetrachloride). 

These systems may all be applied to the same compound. The name adopted is then a matter of choice or convenience. Thus, SiCl4 can be named silicon tetrachloride (binary), tetrachlorosilicon (coordination) and tetrachlorosilane (substitutive). No one name is better or more correct than any other.

It is not wise to infer the detailed physical nature of a compound from the name alone. In this system the name of the (electropositive) metal is not modified from that of the element, but the name of the electronegative element is, and in the way described in the Substitutive Nomenclature section, above. Similarly we derive oxide and sulfide, for example, from oxygen and sulfur. The same division between electronegative and electropositive parts is evident in the covalent nonionic compotmd SiC, which can be named silicon tetrachloride, though an equally valid substitutive name is tetrachlorosilane.

Reduction/Reaction with Hydrogen. Tetrafluorosilane reacts with hydrogen only above 2000°C. Tetrachlorosilane can be reduced by hydrogen at 1200°C. Tetraio do silane can be reduced to silicon at 1000°C (165). Reduction of tetrafluorosilane with potassium metal to silicon was the first method used to prepare silicon (see Silicon and silicon alloys). The reduction of silicon tetrachloride by zinc metal led to the first semiconductor-grade silicon (166,167).
