Pd. Lickiss et R. Lucas, RATE INCREASES IN THE FLUORINATION OF BULKY CHLOROSILANES CAUSED BY ULTRASOUND OR BY WATER, Journal of organometallic chemistry, 510(1-2), 1996, pp. 167-172
The conversion of bulky chlorosilanes to fluorosilanes under anhydrous
conditions with hexafluorosilicate salts is accelerated by ultrasound
. The fluorination of sterically hindered chlorosilanes such as (1)BuP
h(2)SiCl, in the absence of ultrasound, is greatly accelerated by the
addition of water to the reaction mixture.
