trimethylsilane (C3H10Si)
trimethylsilane (C3H10Si)
Trimethylsilane is a clear, colorless liquid with a slightly unpleasant odor. It is used as a reagent in organic chemistry for the synthesis of organosilicon compounds. It is also used in the semiconductor industry for thin-film deposition.
Properties of trimethylsilane (C3H10Si):
- Reactivity: Trimethylsilane is flammable and can react violently with air, oxygen and strong oxidizers.
- Boiling point: 7.00°C
- Melting point: The melting point of trimethylsilane is -120°C.
- Solubility: Trimethylsilane is sparingly soluble in water, but is soluble in many organic solvents.
- Health risks: Trimethylsilane can cause skin irritation and eye damage. It may also be harmful if inhaled or swallowed.
- Protection and prevention: It is recommended to handle trimethylsilane in a well-ventilated environment and to wear personal protective equipment such as gloves, goggles and a suitable respirator.
