Talk:Silane

message: According to http://pdf.aiaa.org/jaPreview/JPP/2006/PVJA17996.pdf reported negative heats of formation of silanes are incorrect. A table is given in http://www.senkyo.co.jp/ists2008/pdf/2008-a-10.pdf.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.84.101.176 (talk) 18:40, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Does this compound even exist, or is it theoretical? The introduction leads me to think the latter, since there is no definite information about it. I'm adding a request for expansion. Fuzzform 15:05, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I remember reading somewhere about silanes as rocket propellants , shouldn't it be included in this article?
Silane has been proposed as rocket fuel but it is probably too dangerous. Have been working with it for 2 years now and it's fun stuff. Even small volumes diluted in nitrogen and argon explode on contact with air. Messed up a pump of ours and nearly blew up the lab once when trying to attach it to a vacuum line. Very small amount leaked and sounded like a shot gun blast when it went off. Smells a bit like sulphur before it blew up around me! Afn 14:11, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Could someone who has more physics and/or chemistry knowledge check this article out? It states that a new room temperature superconductor based on silane was discovered. I won't do this because I am not strong in physics or chemistry. Jesse Viviano (talk) 15:06, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Under the "Safety and precautions" section, a claim is made that "silane is also fairly toxic", but in the table along the right side listing various properties and characteristics of the compound, in the "Harzards" section, the phrase "low toxicity" appears.  Either one claim is right, or additional clarification is needed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dan Aquinas (talk • contribs) 20:10, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Conflicting Toxicity Claims

message: The compound used to treat sand to produce Mars sand is trimethylsilanol (aka trimethylhydroxysilane because it is formally a substitued silane) - as such the reference is inappropriate in an article dealing with silanes SinH2n+2.
Also the reference quoted for masonry protection ("antigraffiti treatment" protectosil) does not disclose the compound used - only saying "trade secret" and elsewhere under BASF "silicon compound". The article implies that the active ingredient is an unsubstituted silane which while it may be true (but personally I doubt it as this seems to be an example of a silanization which use substituted silanes) it is not supported by the reference.  --Axiosaurus (talk) 09:32, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  References to Magic(Mars Sand)  and  masonry treatment should be removed 

message: The article would imply that silane refers to a Si-H bond exclusively.  However silicone carbon bonds are included in the naming rules.  Many students are making this mistake.  For example, tetramethylsilane, tetraethylsilane, and tetrachlorosilane are still "silanes" but do not have one single Si-H bond.  A "silyl hydride" is usually the exclusive name for a bond between silicon and hydrogen.--theslave (talk) 20:06, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

message: In the "Applications" section the following sentence is vague or meaningless, please fix or remove.
"About 300 metric tons per year of silane in the late 1990s"

replies: text: One more vague or grammatically wrong sentence I found - "Due to weak bonds and  hydrogen silane is a pyrophoric gas (capable of autoignition at temperatures below 54 °C or 129 °F)." We can remove the "and" and it should be "Due to weak bonds, hydrogen silane is a pyrophoric gas (capable of autoignition at temperatures below 54 °C or 129 °F)." It is the second line in "Safety and precaution" section. 160.238.93.200 (talk) 05:54, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
