The Present State of Organosilicon Chemistry.

Relationships between Analgous Organic Compounds of Silicon and Carbon.

“…The ease of hydrolysis of silicon halides decreases as the halogen atoms are successively replaced by alkyl or aryl groups (32,42). In the carbon series the reverse is probably true (91), although strictly comparable data are not available.…”

Polyamides obtained by direct polycondesation of 4‐[4‐[9‐[4‐(4‐aminophenoxy)‐3‐methyl‐phenyl] fluoren‐9‐YL]‐2‐methyl‐phenoxy]aniline with dicarboxylic acids based on a diphenyl‐silane moiety

“…Great efforts have been made to improve solubility parameters of these polymers, while maintaining their optimal, thermal, and chemical resistance. Some strategies include introducing specific substituents on the phenyl rings from the monomer structure; using monomers containing flexible functional groups to separate the phenyl rings (e.g., esters or ethers); or using heterocyclic monomers 2. It has been demonstrated that incorporation of both an ether linkage and a cyclic side cardo group such as a fluorene unit into the macromolecular backbone results in good thermal stability, high T g and excellent solubility in organic solvents 3–6…”

The Early History of Chemical Reviews: “Established To Fill a Definite Want”

“…They proudly reported that they had used McBee Keysort punched cards in the assembly of their paper. 58 For most of the rest of the world, scissors-and-paste methods prevailed for years to come, as the often-reiterated 1951 Instructions to Prospective Authors indicated with its tips on how to keep footnotes straight. 40…”
