The homogeneous gas-phase decomposition kinetics of silane has been investigated using the single-pulse shock tube comparative rate technique (T = 1035-1184ยฐK, P ~d = 4000 Torr). The initial reaction of the decomposition SiH4 ! + SiHz + H2 is a unimolecular process in its pressure fall-off regime w

โฆ Synopsis
Kinetic data and product studies are reported for the silane pyrolysis in the presence of olefins and acetylene. The kinetics of silane loss in the presence of acetylene was found to be identical to the initial gas phase silane decomposition step (SiH4 + M + SiH, + H2 + M) when corrected for pressure fall-off effects. This result and the absence of methane or ethane from the pyrolysis of SiH4 in the presence of 1-butene or 1-pentene demonstrate that silyl radicals and H atoms are not involved in silane-olefin or silane-acetylene reactions. Qualitative aspects and kinetic data from the SiH4 pyrolysis in the presence of propylene are in accord with propylsilane formation via propylsilylene formed by silylene addition to propylene. *This is our present interpretation. -This possibility is examined in ref. [l]. 'This possibility was first considered by Purnell and Walsh [21 (P&W), and has been recently revived by Robertson, Hils, and Gallagher (RHG) [31.
