Abstract
The infrared multiphoton decomposition of 1,3-dimethyldisiloxane induced by a TEA CO2 laser yields gaseous C-1-C-2 hydrocarbons, methylsilane, dimethy lsilane, methyldisiloxane and trimethyldisiloxane. These products provide e vidence for a range of decomposition steps; amongst these, cleavage of the Si-O bond is important. The process affords chemical vapour deposition of a white solid nano-structured methyl(hydrido)silicone phase that has been ch aracterized by infrared and photoelectron spectroscopy and electron microsc opy.
