- Energetic Sila-Nitrocarbamates: Silicon Analogues of Neo-Pentane Derivatives
-
Four silanes based on the neo-pentane skeleton Me4-xSi(CH2R)x containing carbamate groups (x = 1-4, R = OC(O)NH2) have been prepared via the corresponding alcohols Me4-xSi(CH2OH)x, starting from the chlorosilanes Me4-xSiClx. Subsequent nitration leads to the corresponding primary nitrocarbamates (R = OC(O)NHNO2), examined for the purpose as potential energetic materials, including the silicon analogue of pentaerythritol tetranitrocarbamate (sila-PETNC) and a siloxane based nitrocarbamate side-product. All compounds were thoroughly characterized by spectroscopic methods including X-ray diffraction. Thermal stabilities and sensitivities toward impact and friction were examined, as well as detonation values by calculating energies of formation using the EXPLO5 V6.02 software.

- Organosilicon Phosphorus-Based Electrolytes
-
Disclosed are electrolytes that are organosilicon phosphorus-based, and supercapacitors which incorporate them. These electrolytes are cationic salts with a phosphorous containing organosilicon moiety. They appear particularly suitable for use in applications such as electric and hybrid electric vehicles.

- Synthesis and characterization of alkylsilane ethers with oligo(ethylene oxide) substituents for safe electrolytes in lithium-ion batteries
-
Alkylsilane ethers, containing one or three carbon spacer groups between the silicon atom and oligo(ethylene oxide) moiety, were designed and synthesized. These compounds are non-hydrolyzable and less flammable than their alkoxysilane counterparts. A full cell test using them as electrolyte solvents showed good cycling performance in lithium-ion batteries.

- Thermolysis of alkoxyaluminum and siloxyaluminum acylates
-
Thermolysis of alkoxyaluminum acylates (RO)nAl(OCORt)3-n (n = 1, 2; R = i-Pr, s-Bu, t-Bu, Rt = Ph, CH2I; R = PhCH2, Rt = Me, Et, Ph; R = Me3Si, Et3Si, Rt = Me) was studied. The main direction of thermolysis of derivatives of primary and secondary alcohols and of unsubstituted carboxylic acids is ester and alcohol formation. Trialkylsiloxyaluminum acylates termolyze to give in the first stage no other products than trialkylacyloxysilanes. Thermolysis of iodoacylates (RO)2AlOCOCH2I (R = Pr, s-Bu) involves oxidation of the alkoxy group to carbonyl compounds with simultaneous formation of a ketene and hydrogen iodide. tert-Butoxyaluminum acylates regardless of the structure of substituent in the acyloxy group undergo symmetrization to aluminum tert-butylate.
