azasiloxanes
Azasiloxanes are a class of organosilicon compounds characterized by the presence of at least one silicon-nitrogen bond within a siloxane backbone. The general formula can be represented as R3Si-N(R')-SiR3 or related structures containing the Si-N-Si linkage. These compounds bridge the chemistry of siloxanes, which have Si-O-Si backbones, and compounds containing silicon-nitrogen bonds, such as silylamines. The presence of the polar Si-N bond significantly influences the chemical reactivity and physical properties of azasiloxanes compared to their oxygen-containing counterparts.
Azasiloxanes can be synthesized through various methods, often involving reactions between silanes, silylamines, and siloxanes. For
The applications of azasiloxanes are diverse and are an active area of research. They have been investigated
