Abstract:
1. A process, comprising: reacting, in a nonthermal plasma, a silicon compound represented by formula (IIa) or a germanium compound represented by formula (IIb) to obtain a silicon compound represented by formula (Ia) or a germanium compound represented by formula (Ib) and, thereafter recovering said compound represented by formula (Ia) or said compound represented by formula (Ib) from a phase that comprises said compound represented by formula (Ia) or said compound represented by formula (Ib), wherein each R1 to R8 radical is independently a hydrogen or a halogen selected from the group consisting of chlorine, bromine and iodine, with the proviso that at least one of the R1 to R8 radicals is a halogen, and n=0 or 1, each R9 to R12 is independently a hydrogen; an organyl, where the organyl comprises a linear, branched or cyclic alkyl having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, linear, branched or cyclic alkenyl having 2 to 8 carbon atoms, unsubstituted or substituted aryl and/or corresponding benzyl; or a halogen selected from the group consisting of chlorine, bromine and iodine, and n=1 or 2, said reacting of the silicon compound of formula (IIa) is carried out in the presence of at least one compound represented by formula (IIIa) or and said reacting of the germanium compound of formula (IIb) is carried out in the presence of at least one compound represented by formula (IIIb) where each R13 to R16 radical is independently a hydrogen; an organyl, where the organyl comprises a linear, branched or cyclic alkyl having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, linear, branched or cyclic alkenyl having 2 to 8 carbon atoms, unsubstituted or substituted aryl or corresponding benzyl; or a halogen selected from the group consisting of chlorine, bromine and iodine, n=1 or 2, and wherein said reacting is carried out in the absence of a reducing agent.
