Disilicate synthesis success

The team successfully synthesized and characterised dianionic compounds consisting of two pentacoordinated silicon atoms, with a Si-Si bond © Nature Chemistry

A compound containing a stable silicon-silicon bond between two negatively charged pentacoordinated silicon atoms - silicates - has been synthesized and isolated for the first time by Japanese researchers. The new disilicate species offers unexpected insight into silicon chemistry and could be useful for making new conductive and optical materials, say the researchers.  More...
