General description

Dichlorodimethylsilane is an organosilicon compound generally used as a protecting group for diols and carbonyl compounds. It is also used as a starting material for the preparation of silicon-based reagents.

Application

Dichlorodimethylsilane can be used:
  • As a silane coupling agent in the synthesis of silica nanoparticles and in their surface modification studies.
  • To prepare polydimethylsiloxane microemulsions by reacting with sodium dodecylpolyoxyethylene sulfate.
  • To prepare a novel heterasumanene where the benzylic carbon atoms of the sumanene are replaced by heteroatom (S, Si) functionalities

Dimethyldichlorosilane (DDS)-treated glass (DDS-glass) was modified with either poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) films or poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PNVP) films by plasma polymerization. The thickness of the plasma polymerized films was varied between 40 and 700 nm. The results showed that the hydrophilic plasma

Uniform hexagonal arrays of diverse nanotemplated metal structures were formed via selective electroless gold plating on particle-lithographed dimethyldichlorosilane layers. Surface-associated water at silica bead interstices was shown to correlate with the formation of silane rings with outer ring diameters ranging
