Gas phase Cl2Si(OH)+ ions undergo an unusual condensation reaction with SiCl4 to yield Cl3SiOSiCl2+ ions that by progressive hydrolysis or solvolysis give rise to a large variety of siloxane type moieties.
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.
