Collection: Silanols [Organosilicon]
Silanols [Organosilicon] — covers organosilicon compounds with a hydroxyl group bonded directly to the silicon atom (Si-OH), ranging from trialkylsilanols to triarylsilanols as well as their sodium salt forms. These silanol groups are reactive and can form siloxane bonds through condensation reactions.
Silanols are used in the synthesis and surface modification of silicon-based materials, as ligands in transition metal catalyst complexes, and as siloxane-bond-forming building blocks in the synthesis of silicon polymers. Organosilicon chemistry researchers exploit variations of alkyl and aryl groups on the silicon atom to tune the sterics and stability of compounds against self-condensation.
Example products in this collection: TCI T4054 7428-60-6 Tris(trimethylsilyl)silanol, TCI D2316 947-42-2 Diphenylsilanediol, TCI T2017 597-52-4 Triethylsilanol, TCI D5571 5272-18-4 Dimethylphenylsilanol, TCI B5499 18173-64-3 tert-Butyldimethylsilanol, TCI D6154 778-25-6 Methyldiphenylsilanol, TCI T0945 791-31-1 Triphenylsilanol, TCI O0731 18027-10-6 Sodium Trimethylsilanolate.
Pay attention to the steric size of the groups bonded to the silicon atom as well as the purity of the material, since silanols with small groups tend to condense more readily into siloxanes during storage. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
