AN IMPROVED PREPARATION OF SILYLPOTASSIUM AND GERMYLPOTASSIUM AND SYNTHESIS OF SILYLGERMANES

The preparation of KSiH3 and KGeH3 is improved, and several syntheses of silylgermane, H3Si - GeH3, are described. A series of other potential processing gases for PE-CVD is prepared: H3Ge - SiR1R2R3 (R1, R2, R3 = H, H, Me; H, H, Et; H, H, tBu; H, H, Ph; H, Me, Me; Et, Et, Et; H, Me, Ph; H, Me, GeH3). A new method for the preparation of silylgermanes by the reaction of silyl esters of sulfonic acids (RSO3H, R = C4,F9, Me, Ph) with KGeH3 is reported.
