Method Of Producing Cyclohexasilane Compounds

US Patent:

Filed:
Jan 25, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/522289
Inventors:
Arumugasamy Elangovan - Fargo ND, US
Kenneth Anderson - Fargo ND, US
Philip R. Boudjouk - Fargo ND, US
Douglas L. Schulz - Fargo ND, US
International Classification:
C01B 33/04
US Classification:
423347
Abstract:
A method of preparing a cyclohexasilane compound from trichlorosilane is provided. The method includes contacting trichlorosilane with a reagent composition to produce a compound containing a tetradecahalocyclohexasilane dianion, such as a tetradecachlorocyclohexasilane dianion. The reagent composition typically includes (a) tertiary polyamine ligand; and (b) a deprotonating reagent, such as a tertiary amine having a pKa of at least about 10.5. Methods of converting the tetradecahalocyclohexasilane dianion-containing compound to cyclohexasilane or a dodecaorganocyclohexasilane are also provided.
