Tetrasilylmethane derivatives : synthesis, structures and their potential as precursors to silyl cations

This thesis describes studies of the gas phase structures and dynamic behaviour of several tetrasilylmethane derivatives as well as the use of silanes bearing the trisyl ligand (Tsi), (Me3Si)3C-, or closely related ligands in attempts to prepare silyl cations R3Si+. Hydride abstraction reactions bet...
