Abstract
A method is provided for synthesizing silicon-germanium hydride compounds of the formula (HGe)SiH, wherein x=0, 1, 2 or 3. The method includes combining a silane triflate with a compound having a GeHligand under conditions whereby the silicon-germanium hydride is formed. The compound having the GeHligand is selected from the group consisting of KGeH, NaGeHand MRGeH, wherein M is a Group IV element and R is an organic ligand. The silane triflate can be HSi(OSOCF)or HSi(OSOCF). The method can be used to synthesize trisilane, (HSi)SiH, and the iso-tetrasilane analog, (HSi)SiH, by combining a silane triflate with a compound comprising a SiHligand under conditions whereby the silicon hydride is formed. The silane triflate can include HSi(OSOCF)or HSi(OSOCF)wherein x=1 or 2. A method for synthesizing (HGe)SiHincludes combining HGeSiH(OSOCF) with KGeHunder conditions whereby (HGe)SiHis formed.
