Abstract: Halogen free amine substituted trisilylamine and tridisilylamine compounds and a method of their preparation via dehydrogenative coupling between the corresponding unsubstituted trisilylames and amines catalyzed by transition metal catalysts is described. This new approach is based on the catalytic dehydrocoupling of a Si—H and a N—H moiety to form an Si—N containing compound and hydrogen gas. The process can be catalyzed by transition metal heterogenous catalysts such as Ru(0) on carbon, Pd(0) on MgO) as well as transition metal organometallic complexes that act as homogeneous catalysts. The —Si—N containing products are halide free. Such compounds can be useful for the deposition of thin films by chemical vapor deposition or atomic layer deposition of Si containing films.

Abstract: Compounds and method of preparation of Si—X and Ge—X compounds (X=N, P, As and Sb) via dehydrogenative coupling between the corresponding unsubstituted silanes and amines (including ammonia) or phosphines catalyzed by metallic catalysts is described. This new approach is based on the catalytic dehydrogenative coupling of a Si—H and a X—H moiety to form a Si—X containing compound and hydrogen gas (X=N, P, As and Sb). The process can be catalyzed by transition metal heterogenous catalysts such as Ru(0) on carbon, Pd(0) on MgO) as well as transition metal organometallic complexes that act as homogeneous catalysts. The —Si—X products produced by dehydrogenative coupling are inherently halogen free. Said compounds can be useful for the deposition of thin films by chemical vapor deposition or atomic layer deposition of Si-containing films.

Abstract: The present teachings relate to a functionalized silyl cyanide and synthetic methods thereof. As an example, the method may include adding a raw material silane and a cyanide source MCN in an organic solvent to produce the functionalized silyl cyanide in the absence of catalyst or in the presence of a metal salt catalyst. The functionalized silyl cyanide may be used in the reactions that classic TMSCN participates in, to synthesize important intermediates (e.g., cyanohydrin, amino alcohols and ?-amino nitrile compounds), with improved reactivity and selectivity. The cyanosilyl ether resulted from the nucleophilic addition of functionalized silyl cyanide to aldehyde or ketone may undergo intramolecular reaction under appropriate conditions to transfer the functional groups on silicon onto the other parts of the product linked to silicon. Such a functional group transfer process may increase the synthesis efficiency and atom economy, as well as afford products unobtainable using traditional TMSCN.
