J. Vitek et al., LASER-INDUCED DECOMPOSITION OF 3-PYRIDINYL(TRIMETHYL)SILANE AND 3-PYRIDINYL(TRIETHOXY)SILANE, Journal of analytical and applied pyrolysis, 28(2), 1994, pp. 175-182
The gas-phase thermal decomposition of the title compounds, induced by
a cw CO2 laser and photosensitized by SF6, leads to the formation of
several volatile carbonaceous products (hydrocarbons and ethers) and o
ligomeric deposits which contain almost all of the silicon from the pa
rent compounds. These materials consist of a low- and a high-molecular
weight component and contain only a small part of the nitrogen incorp
orated in the pyridinyl group or bonded to oxygen.
