Patent ID: 7956125

Claim:
A (thio)phenoxyphenyl phenyl silane composition comprising a (thio)phenoxyphenyl phenyl silane having Formula I Ph 2 -Q-Ph 1 -Si(Ph 3 )(OR) 2 (I) wherein: Ph 1 is a phenyl ring having Ph 2 -Q-, —Si(Ph 3 )(OR) 2 , and four hydrogen atoms as substituents; Ph 2 -Q is a (thio)phenoxy group where Ph 2 is phenyl and Q is selected from oxygen atom, sulfur atom, and combinations thereof; Ph 2 -Q is in a position on the Ph 1 phenyl ring which is ortho-, meta-, or para-relative to the Si atom; Ph 3 is phenyl; and R is independently selected from: a hydrogen atom, a C 1 -C 10 hydrocarbon radical, and combinations thereof, wherein the C 1 -C 10 hydrocarbon radical is independently selected from: linear, branched, or cyclic C 1 -C 10 alkyl; phenyl; substituted phenyl; aralkyl; and combinations thereof; and wherein the (thio)phenoxyphenyl phenyl silane is present in the composition in an amount of at least 99.0 percent by weight to less than or equal to 100 percent by weight, based upon the weight of the (thio)phenoxyphenyl phenyl silane composition.
