Compound Q&A
How is Disilane (CAS: 1590-87-0) typically synthesized?
Answer
Disilane is typically synthesized via the thermal decomposition of silanols or silanols in the presence of hydride reagents or by the hydrogenation of siloxanes. The reaction is carried out under an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation, and various catalysts such as Raney nickel are used to improve selectivity and yield.
