Abstract
Gas-phase thermal and electric discharge interactions of SiH4, Si2H6, and (CH3)2SiH2 with B4H10, B5H9, and 2,3-C2B4H8 were studied, as well as the reactions of (CH3)2GeH2 and (CH3)2SnH2 with 2,3-C2B4H8. In addition, several silyl-substituted derivatives of 2,3-C2B4H8 were prepared from silylacetylenes and boron hydrides, and their conversion to closo-carborane silyl derivatives was examined. All silylcarboranes obtained were C-substituted, and no volatile products containing SiB bonds were obtained in any reaction studied. Evidence for methyl derivatives of a GeC2B5H7 polyhedral cage system was obtained.
