Talk:Organosilicon chemistry

message: Organic Silicon compounds seem to be all the rage in the CAM scene, esp in France. Does anybody here have links/data/info on toxicological or pharmaceutical effects of such compounds? Googling just yields quack results for me. --Krazykraut2011 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 17:44, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Toxic? 

message: Would anyone like to add more discussion of silanols and silanediols in the article?
These seem like important precursors to the ubiquitous siloxanes.

message: The article claims that "Carbon-silicon bonds are not found in any biomolecule".  I have seen a claim that an organosilicon compound was detected by NMR in an alga. The ref I have is "Dalton Transactions, Christopher T.G. Knight" but I access the paper at the moment.  Is is confirmed? --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 20:33, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I got the paper. It interprets the data as silicon in hexavalent coordination, possibly interactig with a nitrogen atom. --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 20:59, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not in any biomolecule? 

message: There is a classical group of experimental drugs that incorporate silicon. They replace one or more carbon atoms in a known drug with a silicon atom. The results are drugs with modified properties. Sila-substituted medicines need to be mentioned. GreySun (talk) 21:55, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You are correct that this theme is popular, but I do not think that any organoSi compounds are medically important ... yet.  There are some pesticides though.  --Smokefoot (talk) 19:35, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sila-substituted medicines 

message: As far as I know, the bond dissociation energies given in the chapter "properties of Si-C, Si-O and Si-F bonds" are all too high. A C-O single bond has some 350 (not 538) kJ/mol, a C-C single bond is also around 350 rather than 600 kJ/mol, and the 800 kJ/mol given for the Si-O bond is too much for a single covalent bond (800 kJ/mol is already close to a triple bond). Furthermore, the given values are not cited (or have I overlooked a citation?). 
For the C-C and C-O bond, see also bond dissociation energy. I don't know the exact dissociation energies of (silicon-other element) bonds, and they are rather hard to find in the literature since they are not part of most organic chemicals (compared to C-C, C-H, C-O, C=O, C-Cl and so), but the values this article gives are improbably high. --79.243.225.236 (talk) 16:54, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

message: Hi. Why don't we link :Category:Carbosilanes & Silanes into this article? AXONOV (talk) ⚑ 19:32, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: That category is bad and should be removed or corrected.  Carbosilanes have Si-C-Si bonds.  See the book "Carbosilanes Syntheses and Reactions" by Fritz and Matern.--Smokefoot (talk) 19:51, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
