PROCESS FOR CLEAVING HIGHER SILANES

摘要

The invention relates to a process for preparing monomeric halogen- and/or hydrogen-containing silicon compounds from oligomeric inorganic silanes having at least two directly covalently bonded silicon atoms, the substituents of which are selected from halogen, hydrogen and/or oxygen, by converting the oligomeric silane over a nitrogen-containing catalyst in the presence of hydrogen halide.
