The study of the chemistry of compounds containing Si-O bonds has for many years been
dominated by both silica and minerals for which the formula unit SiO2 is important, or by the …

The silylation of various O–nucleophiles (eg, alcohols, silanols, etc.) leads to desired and
commonly used compounds such as silyl ethers (alkoxysilanes) or siloxanes. The most …

Molecular imprinting technology is a well-known strategy to synthesize materials with a
predetermined specificity. For fifty years, the “classical” approach assumed the creation of …

Commercial products using organic light emitting diode (OLED) display technology have
begun to appear in cell phones, mp3 players and even televisions. One key area that has …

Silicon and its compounds with other heteroatoms have received considerable attention,
particularly because of their applicative ability. Silicon forms a large number of compounds …

Aiming at the generation of a silanone intramolecularly bound to platinum, we prepared
pincer-type PSiP silanol Pt (II) complexes. While a stable silanone complex was not isolated …

Accelerated degradation tests were performed on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) fluids in
aqueous solutions and in extreme chemical conditions (pH 2–4 and 9–12). Results …

This paper presents the use of hydrophobic silica aerogel (HSA) and hydrophilic fly ash
cenosphere (FCS) aggregates for improvements in the thermal insulating and mechanical …

Selective syntheses of symmetrical siloxanes and cyclotetrasiloxanes are attained from
reactions of silanes and dihydrosilanes, respectively, with water, and the reactions are …

We report on the first examples of isolated silanol–silanolate anions, obtained by utilizing
weakly coordinating phosphazenium counterions. The silanolate anions were synthesized …
