Siloxane - Shirokisan (English spelling) siloxane

Japanese: シロキサン - しろきさん(英語表記)siloxane
Siloxane - Shirokisan (English spelling) siloxane

A general term for compounds containing the siloxane bond Si-O-Si. Depending on the number of silicon atoms, they are named disiloxane, trisiloxane, etc. Polymers of the type [ RnSiO (4- n )/2 ] m (R is an alkyl or aryl group) are called silicones. They are obtained by hydrolysis of organic (organo)halogenosilanes. For example, disiloxane H3Si -O- SiH3 is obtained from monobromosilane SiH3Br. When dichlorodimethylsilane Si(CH3)2Cl2 is hydrolyzed and distilled, cyclic dimethylsiloxane [( CH3 ) 2SiO ] n ( n = 3-9) is distilled out, and linear polydimethylsiloxane HO[( CH3 ) 2SiO ] nH remains. They are important intermediates in the production of organosilicon compounds such as silicone oil, silicone rubber, and silicone resin from halogenosilanes.

シロキサン結合Si-O-Siを含む化合物の総称。ケイ素原子の数により、ジシロキサン、トリシロキサンなどと命名される。[RnSiO(4-n)/2]m(Rはアルキル、アリール基)型の重合体はシリコーンとよばれる。有機(オルガノ)ハロゲノシランの加水分解によって得られる。たとえば、モノブロモシランSiH3BrからジシロキサンH3Si-O-SiH3が得られる。ジクロロジメチルシランSi(CH3)2Cl2を加水分解して蒸留すると、環状のジメチルシロキサン[(CH3)2SiO]n(n=3~9)が留出し、線状のポリジメチルシロキサンHO[(CH3)2SiO]nHが残る。ハロゲノシラン類からシリコーン油、シリコーンゴム、シリコーン樹脂などの有機ケイ素化合物製造の際の中間体として重要である。
