National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Abstract Accurate enthalpies of formation are essential in understanding the thermodynamics of any given class of reactions. Furthermore, a knowledge of enthalpies of formation for a reaction or a group of related reactions is a necessary first step in the deduction of the mechanisms for these reactions. Unfortunately, thermodynamic properties of many silicon compounds are not well-known experimentally. In particular, the enthalpies of formation of the prototypical unsaturated silicon compounds silaethylene (SiH2==CH2) and disilene (SiH2==SiH2) and their silylene isomers (HSiCH3 and HSiSiH3, respectively) are not well-known experimentally and continue to be debated. Fortunately, for molecules with just 1-2 heavy atoms, theory is now able to provide quantitative guidance regarding thermodynamic quantities. Theoretical methods are used here to help unravel the thermodynamics of the four unsaturated silicon-containing compounds mentioned above.
