Hexasilane is a chemical compound from the group of silanes .
Extraction and presentation
Hexasilane can be obtained in the form of a raw silane mixture by decomposing magnesium silicide with mineral acids and excluding air or from monosilane with the help of an electrical discharge. The connection was first demonstrated by Carl Somieski .
properties
Hexasilane is an unstable colorless liquid that reacts with water. It does not ignite immediately in air (in contrast to the shorter silanes) even at 0 ° C, but only after a certain time. Like the higher homologues (n ≥ 4), hexasilane is increasingly less thermally stable and decomposes even at room temperature in daylight, releasing hydrogen and forming the shorter homologues and other polymer products ((SiH <2 ) x ).
use
Hexasilane can be used to produce silicon layers in the semiconductor industry.
