Reactions of Silicon and Germanium with Halogens, Their Hydrides, and Organic Halogen Derivatives

Abstract

Results published up to 1972 inclusive on the kinetics and the mechanism of the reactions of silicon and germanium with halogens, their hydrides, and organic derivatives are summarised. The kinetics and the mechanism of formation of the most important organic and halogenated derivatives of silicon and germanium, which have found wide industrial application, are discussed. Published data are analysed in the light of modern views on the progress of heterogeneous catalytic reactions. A list of 163 references is included.
