Abstract: A method for converting organosilanes by reacting at least one silane (1) of the general formula RaSiCl4-a??(I) with at least one further silane (2) of the general formula RbSiCl4-b??(II) wherein silane (2) is identical or different from silane (1), optionally with additional use of silanes (3) which contain Si-bonded hydrogen and have the formula RdHeSiCl4-d-e??(III) in the presence of aluminum salts, preferably aluminum halides, as catalysts and in the presence of cocatalysts, to obtain at least one silane (4) which differs from silanes (1) and (2) and has the general formula RcSiCl4-c??(IV).

Abstract: Aluminum chloride is separated from a silane mixture containing aluminum chloride by reacting the aluminum chloride with a compound reactive therewith which forms an ionic liquid or solid, and separating the ionic liquid or solid from the now-purified silane.

Abstract: Cleaning industrial plant components to remove silane, metal halide, and organometallic halide contaminants and mixtures thereof, involves treating the plant components with a liquid nitrile or amine or mixture thereof or with a solution of a nitrile or amine or mixture thereof in an aprotic solvent.

Abstract: The invention relates to silylated cyclic phosphonamides of the general formula (1) in which R1 represents an unsubstituted or fluoro-substituted alkyl group with 1-20 carbon atoms, R2, R3 each represent an unsubstituted or fluoro-substituted alkyl or alkyl group with 1-20 carbon atoms or a siloxy group with 1-20 silicon atoms, wherein two or three of the groups R1, R2, R3 can be connected to each other, R4 represents an unsubstituted or fluoro-substituted alkyl group with 1-20 carbon atoms, and n represents the values 1 or 2. The invention also relates to a method for producing the phosophonamides of the general formula (1), to diamines used during the production of the phosphonamides, to an electrolyte which contains the phosphonamides of the general formula (1), and to a lithium-ion battery which comprises a cathode, an anode, a separator, and the electrolyte.

Abstract: Distillation of silane mixtures in the presence of a nitrile, amine, or mixtures thereof, the nitrile and amine each having a boiling point of at least 120° C. at 1013 hPa, is effective to remove metal halide, organometal halides, and other contaminants.

Abstract: In the preparation of phosphonatosilanes by reaction of organophosphites with halocarbon-functional silanes, the safety of the reaction is markedly increased while increasing space/time yield by continuously or periodically withdrawing reaction mixture, freeing the withdrawn mixture of phosphonatosilane product, and recycling the product-depleted remainder back to the reaction. Operation at temperatures of 100° C. or lower is made possible by this process.

Abstract: Storage stable aspartyl ?-aminosilanes are useful in applications where reactive ?-aminosilanes have been used. Alkoxysilyl-terminated prepolymers are easily prepared therefrom and offer high reactivity to water or atmospheric moisture, even when the alkoxy groups are ethoxy groups.
