silane Chem.|ˈsaɪleɪn| [ad. G. silan (A. Stock 1916, in Ber. d. Deut. Chem. Ges. XLIX. 108): see silicon and -ane.] Any of the large class of hydrides of silicon analogous to the alkanes; spec. silicon tetrahydride, SiH4, a colourless gas which has strong reducing properties and is spontaneously flammable in air.
1916Jrnl. Chem. Soc. CX. ii. 319 The suggestion is made that the term ‘silanes’ be accepted generally for the saturated compounds of silicon and hydrogen, the various members being distinguished thus: SiH4, monosilane; Si2H6, disilane; [etc.]. 1935Nature 9 Mar. 397/2 The oxidation of silane resembles very closely that of phosphine rather than that of methane. 1958Times Rev. Industry June 26/3 The gaseous compound silane, SiH4, is produced by reacting silicon tetrachloride with lithium aluminium hydride. 1977Whitaker's Almanack 1978 1034/1 Work has now begun on cleaning and repairing these figures [on Wells Cathedral] and..it is hoped that the use of lime and silanes will prevent further decay of the stone surfaces. |
