Scientific Research Applications

• Intermetal Dielectrics in ElectronicsTrimethylsilane-based PECVD (Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) processes, involving trimethylsilane, are used to deposit dielectric thin films in electronics. These films, including low-permittivity dielectrics, are pivotal in advanced device multilevel metal interconnection schemes, enhancing circuit performance (Loboda, 1999).
• Organic Chemistry and SynthesisTrimethylsilane derivatives are utilized in organic chemistry for the trifluoromethylation and pentafluorophenylation of sulfur and carbon centers. This methodology enables the preparation of complex molecules, including perfluoroalkyl and perfluoroaryl compounds (Patel & Kirchmeier, 1992).
• Coolant in Heat Removal SystemsThe thermal resistance and oxidation resistance of trimethylpentaphenyltrisiloxane, a related compound, make it suitable as a coolant in systems for removing low-potential heat. This application is significant for thermal management in various industrial processes (Lebedev et al., 2014).
• Catalysis in Organic ReactionsAryltrimethylsilanes are used in gold-catalyzed oxidative coupling reactions. These reactions facilitate intramolecular electrophilic aromatic substitution mechanisms, contributing significantly to organic synthesis (Brenzovich, Brazeau, & Toste, 2010).
