Energies from ab initio electronic structure calculations, combined with empirically derived bond correction factors for Si-H and Si-Cl bonds, have been used to derive a consistent set of heats of formation for the complete set of SiH,, SiCI, ( n I 4), and SiH,Cl, ( n + m 5 4) species. The derived values are generally in agreement with literature values. However, some changes in currently accepted heats of formation are recommended.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
