About author : Dr. K.N. Radhamani Msc.Ph.D is has done great work by writing a comprehensive account of the reactivity of silicon-halogen and silicon – nitrogen compounds, which includes description of preparation and handling of air sensitive compounds. The author had gathered data from own research work as well from the literature and a survey of the present state of silicon -halogen and silicon-nitrogen compounds.

About book : During the last few decades silicon - nitrogen compounds have gained a lot of importance. These compounds have emerged as a precursor for many Si containing compounds. There are only a few synthetical methods to prepare these compounds. The Si-X bond is of particularly great importance in the chemistry of organosilicon compounds as almost all organosilicon compounds are ultimately obtained from elementary silicon through SiCl4, and alkyl(aryl)halosilanes. The Si-X bond is much more reactive than the C-X bond toward polar reagents. The ease of hydrolysis of halosilanes decreases with the successive replacement of halogens by alkyls or aryls. The Si-H bond is much more reactive than the C-H bond. Silicon nitrogen has very high potential application in semiconductor industries. Triamino silanes are a class of compounds having silicon -nitrogen compounds characterized by the presence of three amino (NH2) groups attached to a silicon atom. Hence these compounds play a major role in the applications in material science, catalysis etc. Exploring their potential and different methods of preparation, stability and reactivity open a promising avenues for fundamental research and practical applications.
