Synthesis Strategies for Si-Based Advanced Materials and Their Applications

Disilane-bridged architectures: an emerging class of molecular materials

“…Numerous studies exploring the chemistry of silicon, an element that is abundant on our planet, have yielded a plethora of important applications in modern chemistry and cutting-edge materials, with a particular emphasis on functional organosilicon compounds. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Using silicon atoms as bridges within the pfused structures has emerged as an effective approach for creating unique materials with remarkable electronic and photophysical characteristics, which are typically challenging to attain using carbon-based p-components. 9-13 Among organosilicon compounds, disilanes that contain saturated Si-Si bonds have been studied for over 80 years.…”
