Abstract
The disilane bonds of various organosilicon compounds were found to be cleaved by hydrogen to give silicon hydrides when treated under conditions of relatively high temperatures and pressures in the presence of copper oxide catalysts, providing that the silicon-silicon bonds were activated by the presence of phenyl groups. Raney nickel was not effective as a catalyst for the hydrogenolysis reaction, nor could the aromatic rings be hydrogenated when attached to the disilane linkage.
