Diphenyldichlorosilane, min. 97%

Bridging Silicon-Based Blocking Agent Used as a protecting group for reactive hydrogens in alcohols, amines, thiols, and carboxylic acids. Organosilanes are hydrogen-like, can be introduced in high yield, and can be removed under selective conditions. They are stable over a wide range of reaction conditions and can be removed in the presence of other functional groups, including other protecting groups. The tolerance of silylated alcohols to chemical transformations summary is presented in Table 1 of the Silicon-Based Blocking Agents brochure. Aromatic Silane - Conventional Surface Bonding Aliphatic, fluorinated aliphatic or substituted aromatic hydrocarbon substituents are the hydrophobic entities which enable silanes to induce surface hydrophobicity. The organic substitution of the silane must be non-polar. The hydrophobic effect of the organic substitution can be related to the free energy of transfer of hydrocarbon molecules from an aqueous phase to a homogeneous hydrocarbon phase. A successful hydrophobic coating must eliminate or mitigate hydrogen bonding and shield polar surfaces from interaction with water by creating a non-polar interphase. Although silane and silicone derived coatings are in general the most hydrophobic, they maintain a high degree of permeability to water vapor. This allows coatings to breathe and reduce deterioration at the coating interface associated with entrapped water. Since ions are not transported through non-polar silane and silicone coatings, they offer protection to composite structures ranging from pigmented coatings to rebar reinforced concrete. A selection guide for hydrophobic silanes can be found on pages 22-31 of the Hydrophobicity, Hydrophilicity and Silane Surface Modification brochure.

Dichlorodiphenylsilane is a chemical compound that has been used in wastewater treatment. It is stable in the presence of strong bases, such as hydrochloric acid and copper chloride, and can be easily converted to other compounds. Dichlorodiphenylsilane reacts with hydroxide ions to form a hydroxyl group, which is an acidic complex. This reaction occurs at a redox potential of -0.14 V. Dichlorodiphenylsilane also has a light emission property when heated, which can be useful for analytical purposes or detecting pollution in water samples. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm predicts the amount of dichlorodiphenylsilane that will bind to the receptor surface based on its concentration and the surface area of the receptor.
