difenyyliisilaani
Difenyyliisilaani, known in English as diphenylsilane, is an organosilicon compound with the chemical formula SiH2(C6H5)2. It is classified as a hydrosilane, consisting of a silicon center bonded to two phenyl groups and two hydrogen atoms. The molecule adopts a roughly tetrahedral geometry around silicon and is typically encountered as a colorless liquid or low-melting substance in pure form.
The compound is moisture- and air-sensitive to some extent, as with many hydrosilanes. It can hydrolyze to
Preparation methods for diphenylsilane generally involve the reduction of chlorinated or otherwise functionalized diphenylsilane derivatives, or
Safety considerations include avoiding exposure to moisture and oxidants, using appropriate ventilation, and storing under inert
